   (1)   Commercial, industrial, and residential monthly service charges shall be billed at the same time and upon the same statement as for water service charges and sewer service charges, and shall be due and payable at the same time and under the same conditions and terms as of the water and sewer service charges. Service charges will be billed to the person, firm or corporation in whose name such utility meter is listed or recorded on the records of the Board of Public Utilities. Non-metered grounds or structures generating refuse of any type shall pay refuse service disposal charges at the same rate as other commercial or residential subscribers as provided in Section 8-114 (Ord. #717, 09/07/89).
   (2)      Contractors electing to dispose of their own refuse (including demolition waste) on a daily, weekly, or one time basis, may do so by paying the disposal service charges as provided for in the provisions of 8-111  (Ord. #717, 09/07/89, Ord. #764, 08/06/91, Ord. #805, 07/23/92, Ord. #830, 06/15/93, Ord. #1311, 09/05/24).

All such vehicles shall also be required to have a functioning tailgate in place, if the transporting vehicle is designed for the use of a tailgate, provided, however, that any vehicle hauling brush, trees, or tree trimmings shall be exempt from this requirement (Ord. #717, 09/07/89, Ord. #817, 01/22/93).
