Chapter 13.02 Solid Waste

Article III. Collection

Section 13.02.0370 Charges Continue
  1. In the event collection service is suspended or halted for nonpayment or other enforcement reason not the result of departmental error or fault, all charges for regular collection services for said premises shall continue to accrue, without reduction of charges, and as if regularly scheduled collection for said premises were accomplished, or a minimum service-call charge will be assessed and will continue to accrue against the premises, based upon the regular service needs estimated by the director.
  1. The intent of this provision is to encourage customers, owners and occupants to accept the continuing obligation to make proper arrangements for collection of solid waste generated or accumulating on their premises and considers that collection vehicles and labor still must pass by affected premises, and collection service would continue to be provided and continues to be available to the affected premises but for a failure to perform obligations under this chapter.
