(A) If any owner or occupant of any property places any waste which is rejected by the city waste collector because it does not conform to the requirements of this subchapter, the city waste collector shall give notice to the owner or occupant of the premises by tagging the rejected waste. The tag shall advise the owner or occupant of the reason the waste was not collected and shall direct the owner or occupant to correct the violation within 24 hours, and it shall warn the owner or occupant that if the violation is not corrected, the city may make a special collection for which the owner or occupant shall be charged.
(B) If the code official determines the owner or occupant of the premises upon which rejected waste is located has failed to correct the violation within the time period specified on the notice, the city may have the city waste collector make a special collection of the rejected waste.
(C) If the city waste collector makes a special collection of rejected waste, the owner or occupant shall be charged a fee equal to the special collection charge incurred by the city, plus an administrative fee of 20%. The owner or occupant of the premises shall be sent an invoice for the costs of special collection, including the administrative fee, which shall be payable within 30 days of the date of the invoice. If the invoice is not paid by the due date on the invoice, then any outstanding balance owed the city shall be placed immediately on the next water bill or tax bill for the property in accordance with § 50.006.
