In the event that the residential solid waste collection, recycling and disposal bill is not paid by the fifth calendar day of the month following issuance of the bill, a penalty equal to 10% of the bill shall be added to the bill. If a payment is made by mail, payment shall be presumed to be timely if the envelope containing said payment is postmarked on or before the fifth day of the month following the date of billing.
All residential solid waste collection, recycling and disposal charges, penalties and interest thereon shall be a lien on the real property benefited from that date that the charge is due and payable, and such lien shall be prior and superior to every other lien or claim, except the lien of an existing tax, unpaid water or sewer bill or local assessment or as provided by state or local law. The Board of Trustees may certify to the Village Clerk the amount of any such lien which has not been paid at the time and in the manner prescribed by such Board, with a description of the real property affected thereby, and the Board of Trustees may levy the same upon the real property in default.
