There shall be imposed each year a fee as set
from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council per unit for
the collection and disposal of ashes, garbage, rubbish and refuse
within the Borough of Upland.
All accounts shall be due and payable as provided
for by the Borough Council, and if the same is unpaid within 60 days
from the time of the delivery of said bill, said account shall be
considered delinquent and the service of collection of said ashes,
garbage, rubbish and refuse shall be stopped without further notice.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Tax Collector, who bills for the
collection of ashes, garbage, rubbish and refuse to forthwith notify
the Borough Secretary of any unpaid fees, and the Borough Secretary
shall certify to the person in charge of directing the collections
that service on such delinquent accounts shall cease. Service shall
be resumed thereafter only on payment of the annul collection charge,
unless the Borough Council of the Borough of Upland shall specifically
direct otherwise. The stoppage of service hereinbefore authorized
for nonpayment of collection charges shall be in addition to the right
of the Borough to proceed for the collection of such unpaid charges
by an action in assumpsit, or at the election of the Borough, in any
other manner provided by law.
The Borough Council hereby reserves the right
to exempt any person or persons from the payment of the aforesaid
taxes and/or fees upon said person or persons proving to the Borough
Council that he, she or they are suffering from such a severe economic
hardship that the payment of said tax and/or fee will only further
increase said economic hardship to said person or persons.
The Borough Council or its agent is empowered
to designate the day(s) of the month on which recyclables shall be
collected, removed and disposed of from a particular area.
