[Adopted 7-10-2000 by Ord. No. 212]
The Commissioners of Ridgely hereby levy and
will collect a service charge for collections made within the Town's
corporate limits of recyclable materials.
The quarter-annual recycling charge will be in such amounts as the Commissioners may establish from time to time by resolution. Such charges may be unequal among different classes of producers where a reasonable basis for division into classes exists. In the case of residential producers, such charge, subject to the provisions of § 150-22 of this article, shall be due whether or not recycling by the Town is actually utilized.
The recycling collection service charge shall
be levied and collected at the same time as and may be on the same
bill as any water, sewage, or trash collection fees levied by the
Commissioners of Ridgely.
Any recycling collection charge not fully paid
within 30 days after being billed shall be deemed delinquent and subject
to the same late fees that apply to the nonpayment of water and trash
collection billings. Unpaid recycling collection charges may be collected
in the same manner provided for the collection of annual real estate
taxes.
Recycling collection from any producer or class
of producer may be suspended or ended at any time for good cause upon
resolution of the Commissioners of Ridgely.
