(A) If any owner or occupant of any property places any waste which is rejected by the city waste collector because it does not conform to the requirements of this chapter, the city waste collector shall give notice to the owner or occupant of the premises by tagging the rejected waste. The tag shall advise the owner or occupant of the reason the waste was not collected and shall direct the owner or occupant to correct the violation within 24 hours, and it shall warn the owner or occupant that if the violation is not corrected, the Department of Public Works may make a special collection for which the owner or occupant will be charged.
(B) If the Department of Public Works determines the owner or occupant of the premises upon which rejected waste is located has failed to correct the violation within the time period specified on the notice, the Department of Public Works may have the city waste collector make a special collection of the rejected waste.
(C) If the city waste collector makes a special collection of rejected waste, the owner or occupant shall be charged a fee equal to the special collection charge incurred by the city, plus an administrative fee. The owner or occupant of the premises shall be sent an invoice for the costs of special collection (including an administrative fee established by the annual appropriations ordinance) which shall be payable within 30 days of the date of the invoice.
