§ 8-1-22. Industrial, commercial and municipal haulers.

(a)

A service charge shall be collected at landfill locations from industrial, commercial and municipal haulers of garbage, refuse and solid waste based on tonnage or volume. Charges shall not be collected from individuals who haul their own household garbage and refuse to the landfill site, due to the fact that the landfill service charge provided in section 8-1-21(a) shall defray the proportionate cost as to such haulers. In charging a municipality, a credit shall be allowed for the amount collected from owners of low generator properties within the municipality under section 8-1-21(a). In charging commercial haulers of household garbage and refuse, a credit shall be allowed for the number of their customers who have paid a low generator service charge under section 8-1-21(a).

(b)

Service charges and special handling fees to be collected at the landfill from industrial, commercial and municipal haulers shall be determined by the county council on a volume or tonnage basis from time to time as necessary. Industrial, commercial and municipal haulers may be allowed to pay within 30 days of being invoiced for landfill use, provided that a late fee shall be added in the amount of one and one-half percent of the outstanding balance for each month after 30 days that the balance remains unpaid.
