(a) If any person does not pay any solid waste charges within 15 days after the County renders a monthly invoice or does not pay any systems benefit charge the Director of Finance must apply any posted collateral against the amount due and must immediately suspend access to county solid waste acceptance facilities by any vehicle owned or operated by the person, company or agency in default of payment until full payment, including interest and penalties, is received and any collateral used to satisfy the outstanding obligation has been redeposited with the Director of Finance.
(b) For default in payment by any property owner billed for systems benefits charges on a tax bill, the property against which such charges have been made must be sold at tax sale in the same manner as real property is sold for nonpayment of taxes. (1981 L.M.C., ch. 37, § 1; 1992 L.M.C., ch. 39, § 1.)

See County Attorney Opinion dated 2/22/00 explaining that the County Code does not allow for the imposition of interest or late fees for disposal facility payments received without proper identifying documentation.
