Each residential customer who has more than one (1) one-half (½) cubic yard toter shall be charged an additional solid waste collection fee of five dollars ($5.00) per month for each additional toter regardless of whether the additional toter is actually utilized.

If a residential unit is vacant and unoccupied for a period in excess of sixty (60) consecutive days, the monthly solid waste collection fee shall be suspended following the expiration of the sixty (60)-day period as long as the unit remains unoccupied and provided the owner or the person having control of the unit notifies the city in writing that the unit has been vacant for at least sixty (60) days. The owner or person having control of the residential unit shall immediately notify the city in writing when the unit is occupied. The solid waste collection fee for the unit shall be reinstated effective the first date of re-occupancy.
