8.25.090 Billing and collection.
A. Payment. Every owner of premises in the collection service area must pay the contract hauler for solid waste collection service at the following times:
1. Monthly by the twenty-fifth day of each month, in advance, or other time provided in the collection contract; or
2. As determined by the manager.
B. Late Fees. If the contract hauler is not timely paid, the contract hauler may charge the following late payment fees:
1. Established under the collection contract; or
2. One percent per month on the outstanding balance with a minimum of $1.00 for each month.
C. Deposits. If, following request by the contract hauler, the borough reasonably determines that an owner of premises who is commencing new service has not established sufficient credit in the community to assure timely payment of solid waste collection service charges, the contract hauler may require a deposit in an amount equal to two months’ billings for the collection service requested, or other amount determined by the manager. The contract hauler may retain the deposit for up to one year, after which the owner may request the contract hauler to return the deposit if the owner has established a record of timely payment. Neither the borough nor the contract hauler is obligated to escrow or pay interest on the deposit. [Ord. FY2018-20 §2, 2018; Ord. FY2010-07 §3, 2010].
