§ 8-5. Garbage collection fees imposed.

(a)

Garbage collection fees are hereby set as follows:

Residential, per container, per month ..... $6.00

Commercial:

Per month for one load per week ..... 20.00

Per month for two loads per week ..... 30.00

For each additional load per week ..... 5.00

(b)

Each household in the city limits shall pay a garbage fee. If a household has more than one roll out cart, they must pay six dollars ($6.00) for each additional cart.

(c)

The garbage fee collection will be paid at the same time as the sewer collection, which is every other month. The garbage fee will be on a line on the sewer card, and will state that it is a garbage fee, and the amount thereof.

(d)

Any person who is not on sewer in the city will be billed on a card stating garbage fee only, and will be billed every other month, just as sewer customers are.

(e)

The garbage fees and the sewer fees will be paid to the clerk's office at City Hall between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Customers may pay by mail, or the night depository at City Hall will be available anytime for drops.

(f)

No portion of a bill can be paid; the whole bill must be paid at the same time. The clerk cannot accept a sewer payment unless the garbage fee is paid at the same time.

(g)

Anyone who fails to pay the garbage fee by the designated date will result in his/her roll cart being removed from their property. If removal of the roll cart becomes necessary, the six dollar ($6.00) per container monthly fee will still be charged to the person in charge of the household. Any garbage placed on the sidewalk will be cause for a charge of littering against the person in charge of the household. For sanitary reasons, the roll cart is the only type of container which can be used.

(h)

All garbage collection fees will be placed in the general fund at the end of the day; and will be kept separate from sewer funds.

(i)

In the event a garbage bill remains unpaid at the end of four (4) months, or two (2) billings, the indebtedness constitutes a lien on any property on the head of household, and may be enforced in accordance with the laws of South Carolina. Garbage charges shall continue to accrue.
