(A) There shall be two types of collection sites: gated; and non-gated.
(1) The only dumping allowed in designated non-gated collection sites is basic household garbage and incidental non-commercial yard waste. No person shall deposit any of the following items at the designated disposal sites: industrial waste; hazardous waste; bulky items; concrete; asphalt; rocks; masonry products; metal products in excess of six inches in length, width, or height; tires; automotive batteries; wire fencing; furniture; tree stumps larger than 12 inches in diameter; branches or limbs larger than six inches in diameter; dead animals; or appliances, including, but not limited to: refrigerators; freezers; microwaves; washers; dryers; ovens; or stoves.
(2) The only dumping allowed in designated gated facilities is basic household garbage and incidental non-commercial grass and leaves. Brush and tree limbs are not allowed.
(B) All persons paying a residential fee are authorized to use the system and may create or accumulate a continuous volume of up to one cubic yard of refuse each week without being subject to paying an additional fee to the contractor for refuse in excess of the one cubic yard.
(1) Within cities that are served by solid waste contractors under separate contracts, it is presumed that each residential household and small commercial businesses have one-half yard capacity per week available to them in either solid waste carts or garbage cans.
(2) All persons paying one-half of a commercial fee are authorized to use the system and may create or accumulate a continuous volume of up to one cubic yard of refuse each week without being subject to paying an additional fee to the contractor for refuse in excess of the one cubic yard.
(C) (1) Residents within cities within the county, which cities have independently contracted for door to door pickup of solid waste, shall pay a fee to the county. The rate actually charged shall be set annually by the Board of County Commissioners.
(2) Within cities and other areas that are currently receiving door to door solid waste service on properties upon which are located multifamily structures (apartments or duplexes) shall be billed in the following manner: Each unit in that structure 10% less of the calculated total as a vacancy credit.
(3) Each mobile or manufactured home unit that is used as a permanent residence shall be treated as a separate residence for billing purposes, regardless of whether the same is within a mobile home park or not.
(4) Within the rural county, multifamily structures (apartments and duplexes) shall receive full county rural residential bill for each unit 10% less of the calculated total as an occupancy credit.
(D) In the alternative, at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners, rather than adding the city’s contribution to the tax bills annually, the county may reach an agreement with each incorporated city that has door to door service and an existing contractor agreement, to have the city administer and pay the city’s fee to the county on a quarterly or semiannual basis, in lieu of adding the city’s fee to the county tax bill.
(E) The Board of County Commissioners, at its discretion, shall be permitted to continue a solid waste levy on all applicable properties, pursuant to the authority found in Idaho Code § 31-4404(1).
(F) No person owning or occupying premises within or upon lands held in trust by the United States for Native Americans shall deposit any solid waste from such premises at the designated disposal sites, unless the Nez Perce Tribal Council has entered into a contract with the county joining the county system.
(G) The current solid waste policy statement, which is § 50.036(E), shall be applicable and is hereby adopted as part of chapter for hardship cases, exemption, and non-users.
(H) (1) All users authorized to use the system must dispose of white goods and tires at a transfer station or designated roll-off. Said users are allowed to dispose of four passenger car or light-duty truck tires without rims a month.
(2) Commercial tire companies must have a disposal agreement with a solid waste contractor which addresses proper disposal of used tires. The county shall permit each contractor to charge individual users of the system a separate fee for the disposal of tires and white goods equal to the amount that the county is billed for the disposal of such items, and when the contractors receive funds from users, the county shall not be billed for the disposal of such items.
(3) All persons desiring to dispose of tires must properly dispose of said items at a transfer station.
(I) The county shall also have the ability to authorize the contractor to charge additionally for hazardous waste added to the county system.
