§ 74-35. Establishing payment accounts.

Users of the county's solid waste disposal facilities, upon approval, may establish payment accounts as a means of paying monthly solid waste disposal rates and charges incurred in accordance with prescribed rates. In order to do so such users must act as follows:

(1)

Agree to pay within 20 days of the date of billing, all solid waste disposal rates and charges incurred in each month upon presentation of a bill for such charges by the county.

(2)

Provide security for unpaid incurred charges by a security deposit equal to estimated usage of the facility for a period of three months as determined by the coordinator. That deposit may be made to the clerk of the circuit court in any of the following ways:

a.

Cash deposit.

b.

Escrow agreement with an acceptable state institution or other acceptable escrow agent.

c.

Irrevocable letter of credit or a certificate of deposit.

d.

Payment bond with a surety license to do business in the state.

(3)

Amount of security deposits will be based on hauling records or projective loads but under no circumstances will the amount be less than $3,000.00.

(4)

When unpaid monthly charges become past due the user's security deposit shall be debited for the amount of such charges.

(5)

When any user fails to pay upon presentation a bill for charges incurred through the use of the landfill site the county may invoke charges against the security deposit account and the user shall thereafter pay cash for each disposal in the landfill site prior to making such disposal until a new payment account is established.

(6)

Charge accounts will be authorized for city, county, federal and state agencies without establishing payment accounts.
