A. Billing for solid waste collection service will commence with the date of occupancy of the dwelling. The city shall have the right to determine how and to whom solid waste collection charges are to be billed. Failure to receive a bill or failure to apply for service does not relieve the user of responsibility for the charges.
B. On or about the first day of each month the person or firm subscribing to the collection service shall be billed directly by the city. Billings by the city for garbage collection service may be combined with billings for other services provided.
C. Payments for garbage collection service shall normally be made monthly on or before the 15th day of each month and billings may require payments be made in advance. Payments that are 30 days past due, shall be subject to the interest provisions established by § 5.05.145, accounts receivable.
D. All solid waste collection charges shall be the obligation of the owner of the property served by the city. Unless otherwise exempted by this code each owner shall be obligated to pay all solid waste collection charges regardless of whether the owner's property or any part thereof are vacant.
