(A) All persons or organizations, however constituted, which are not otherwise expressly exempt from paying solid waste disposal fees pursuant to this Code of Ordinances, shall pay at the Transfer Station a per ton solid waste disposal, or tipping, fee established by County Council in its annual fiscal year budget ordinance for general appropriations. A new fee may be established by County Council either by an amendment to the annual budget ordinance after its enactment for a fiscal year, or by resolution during the fiscal year. Should County Council fail to establish a new tonnage fee in this manner, the per ton fee for the prior fiscal year shall continue. Every business engaged in making, fabricating, or changing things into new forms for use or in refining, rectifying, or combining different materials for use shall be held to be a manufacturer; and
(B) Each truck other than private vehicles (cars/pickups) going across the scales at the transfer station will have a county disposal sticker which the county will sell for $5. If a vehicle has no sticker, it will be a cash transaction at the scales. Individuals who bring cars/pickups with solid waste will pay a minimum charge of $2 cash or by weight if over 100 pounds; however, they will pay nothing if they bring their tax receipt showing that they paid the solid waste fee. There is no charge for white goods, tires, or oil (commercial vendors see tire policy). Businesses and nonprofit organizations that have annual contracts with commercial solid waste removal services will not have to pay any user fees and may obtain a waiver or refund of the fees by providing a copy of the annual contract to the County Auditor, except for housing.
