(B) Open dumps. In addition to any penalties provided herein, whenever the Board of Supervisors deems it necessary, said Board of Supervisors may, after 30 days written notice, have such solid waste in open dumps removed by its own agents or employees, in which event the cost or expense thereof shall be chargeable to and paid by the owner or owners of such property on which such solid waste was located and may be collected by the county as taxes and levies are collected.
