The city shall finance the collection and disposal of garbage and refuse hereunder by service charges to be collected from persons, firms and corporations receiving service. Such service charges shall be established as can reasonably be expected to yield revenue not in excess of the costs of operation, maintenance, overhead and an adequate depreciation fund. Until modified by the Board, the schedule of such charges shall be as follows:
(A) City domestic residents (single family homes): $3 per month for one pickup each week.
(B) City domestic residents (apartments): Where occupants of apartment buildings do not receive individual water billings, the building owners shall be charged $3 per month per apartment.
(C) City business and commercial establishments: $5 for each pickup.
(D) Where garbage and refuse collection and disposal service is made available to domestic residents and to business and commercial establishments outside the city limits by the Board, the charges for service shall be made at two times the charges established in divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section.
(E) Charges for the disposal of large and unusual items not specifically mentioned as ineligible for pickup in § 50.04 shall be at the discretion of the city; also charges under divisions (C) and (D) of this section to particular business and commercial establishments shall be subject to modification by the City Council if volume is excessive.
