There will be a Solid Waste Collection Fee imposed for all Commercial Establishments requiring more than five(5) times per week collection. These establishments will include Hotels, Motels, Condominiums, Apartment/Multi-Family Complexes and Restaurants.
This fee structure will be in effect from May 17, 2010 thru October 1, 2010. The fee will be $75.00 per additional pickup for front-end containers and $20.00 per additional pick-up for 300 gallon containers.
In most cases the five-day collection schedule would exclude Tuesdays & Thursdays. Other days without collection may be possible if arranged in advance with the Solid Waste Manager.
