Fees for dropping off trash at the landfill

A. For the receipt and disposal of self-hauled residential solid waste or refuse delivered to landfill facilities by any business, federal or state agency, religious entity, or nonprofit organization, the unit charge per load or the unit charge per ton, or fraction thereof, as set forth in the annual budget ordinance shall apply. In the event of a breakdown or unavailability of weighing equipment at the landfill facility, the interim fee schedule as set forth in the annual budget ordinance shall apply. B. In addition to the unit charge per ton or per cubic yard, a charge per truckload for refuse requiring special handling or arrangements by County employees for proper disposal at landfills shall be imposed in the amount set forth in the annual budget ordinance. C. The director of finance may assess interest on any delinquent charges. Charges are delinquent when not paid within thirty days after the date of the billing for the charges. Interest shall be assessed at a rate of one per cent per month for each month or fraction thereof that the charges remain delinquent. If partial payment of a delinquent charge is made, the amount received shall first be applied to the interest due, and then to the principal. D. All disposal charges, special handling fees, and interest, if any, shall be collected by the department of finance for deposit into the solid waste management fund. E. The director may waive disposal charges for nonprofit organizations and organizations participating in a County-sponsored event if the organization: 1. Has a recycling operating permit issued by the State of Hawaii, department of health; or 2. Submits information, on a form specified by the department, verifying the organization's participation in recycling programs or projects. (Ord. 3562 § 1 (part), 2008: Ord. 3052 § 8, 2002)
