- Overloaded/Overweight/Oversize Containers.
- Overloaded
Debris extending above the top of the automated cart such that the lid is at or above a forty-five degree angle will be charged at a rate of:
- Overweight.
For residential service, those containers in excess of the maximum allowed weight, as referenced in SMC 13.02.0354(A), are subject to an overweight charge per container, if accepted, of the following:
- For purposes of assessing an overweight cart or container charge, the good faith estimation of the solid waste collector shall be sufficient to support the charge, absent further information, considering that such employees handle a high volume of carts and containers with regularity and are familiar with standard cart and container weight limits prescribed herein.
- In practice, for an overweight container charge, the assessment generally arises where the solid waste collector requires assistance.
