A. Enterprise Funding. By resolution, the assembly will set fees for solid waste management services provided at the borough owned or operated facilities, including disposal of solid waste and household hazardous waste at borough’s baler facility and the sanitary landfill, sufficient to cover the facilities’ costs of operation, maintenance, and capital improvements without subsidy from any other source, as an enterprise and nonsubsidized freestanding operation.

B. Cash or Commercial Charge Accounts. No one may deliver any material to a facility owned or operated by the borough without paying applicable fees established by resolution of the assembly in cash upon delivery, except the following users:

1. The contract hauler and other commercial users determined by the manager, such as contractors that regularly deliver construction and demolition debris to the borough landfill, which may establish charge accounts under subsection D of this section.

C. Schedule. The assembly will establish a user fee schedule, which may provide fees for different categories of service, including the following:

1. Per unit of weight, such as ton, of solid waste;

2. Per unit of time, such as a half-hour, for materials that require special handling by facility personnel upon delivery, in addition to the applicable fees per ton;

3. For types and amounts of hazardous and toxic waste; or

4. For any other materials.

D. Charge Accounts. The manager may extend credit for user fees as follows:

1. An applicant may obtain a credit application from the director of finance or his designee;

All credit applications are subject to approval by the director of finance in his discretion and this may include a deposit. The borough may retain the deposit for up to one year, after which the owner may request the return of the deposit if borough determines that the applicant has established a record of timely payment. The borough is not obligated to escrow or pay interest on the deposit;

2. The charge account holder must pay bills within 30 days after the borough mails the monthly bill; and

3. The director of finance may revoke credit and charging privileges without notice to the charge account holder at any time an account becomes delinquent. [Ord. FY2010-07 §3, 2010].
