The annual fee for the collection and disposal of trash, garbage
and rubbish for residential properties is set at $58 for 1989, as
provided in the budget for said year. The annual fee shall apply to
each family unit in dwellings containing multiple families.
Upon the failure of any person or corporation to pay the trash
and garbage collection fee, the Borough of Darby shall, at its option,
institute proceedings for the collection of the same before the District
Justice. Anyone in default shall, upon institution of the proceedings,
be assessed all fines and costs involved in the prosecution of the
action.
Upon the failure of any person or corporation to pay the aforesaid
trash and garbage collection fee, the Borough of Darby, at its option,
shall have the authority to file a lien for said delinquency against
the property of said person and/or corporation. The filing of said
lien shall not preclude the filing of an action before the District
Justice. The Borough of Darby may elect to institute both proceedings
in order to collect any unpaid trash and garbage collection fee.
The Tax Collector of the Borough of Darby is hereby designated
as the collector of the trash and garbage collection fee. Said Tax
Collector is authorized to collect said fee by placing the amount
due on all real estate bills issued by said Tax Collector. The annual
fee of the Tax Collector for performing the work prescribed by this
article shall be determined by Borough Council by motion or resolution
duly adopted.
