§ 13.12.070. Use of solid waste landfill facility.

A.

Access to Solid Waste Landfill by Residential Users. The payment when due of the solid waste landfill access fee shall entitle the owner or occupant of every residence in the district to dispose of solid waste generated by that residence in the city-county landfill. This right shall extend not only to the solid waste collected by the city-county or its contract hauler, but to extraordinary solid waste generated by the residential user, and delivered to and deposited directly at the solid waste facility.

B.

Access to Solid Waste Landfill by Commercial Users. The payment when due of the solid waste landfill access fee shall entitle the owner or occupant of each commercial or industrial property to dispose of solid waste generated by that enterprise in the normal course of the operation of the commercial or industrial enterprise on which the solid waste landfill access fee is based. Solid waste generated in the normal course of business does not include the disposition of items that constitute or are a part of the inventory or a byproduct of the enterprise. These wastes include, for example, used tires for a tire dealer, wrecked cars for a salvage dealer, used or discarded appliances by an appliance dealer, or building wastes of a building contractor. Such wastes shall be deemed special solid wastes and commercial or industrial users wishing to deposit special solid wastes shall pay a tipping fee for special solid waste as described in subsection C of this section.

C.

Special Solid Wastes; Tipping Fee. Any materials meeting the definition of solid waste that are not generated in the normal course of operation of a commercial or industrial user or the residential user of property shall be deemed to be special solid waste. The city-county shall collect a tipping fee for disposal of special solid waste at the city-county solid waste landfill at the time of disposal. The schedule for tipping fees is attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter as Schedule II. The schedule may be amended by the council of commissioners by ordinance. The tipping fees shall be collected by the department of public works and transferred to the city-county treasurer who shall deposit all such fees in the solid waste landfill access fund.
