E. All persons requiring a permit from the borough to dump trash at

the Borough for the amount of the said fee, as the case may be. In
any case where the amount of the fee is not known in advance, the
Borough Clerk, prior to issuing such permit, shall collect a deposit
reasonably estimated to exceed said fee by $25 per load. Upon presentation
of a receipt for payment of the fee to the landfill or upon presentation
of an invoice from the landfill indicating the amount of the fee being
charged to the Borough, as the case may be, the person to whom the
permit was issued shall receive from the Borough Clerk a refund of
so much of the deposit as exceeds the actual fee. The balance of the
deposit shall be applied by the Borough Clerk to the payment of the
fee. Should the person to whom the permit was issued fail to apply
for a refund within 30 days from the date of issuance, the deposit
shall be deemed to be the amount of the fee.
