Section 21-721. PENALTIES

 

721.1A solid waste collector who disposes of solid waste at a disposal facility owned by, operated by, or under contract with the District shall pay its disposal fees in advance by certified check or credit card, or by establishing an escrow account with a financial institution for monthly drawdowns by the District to pay for the collector's solid waste disposal fees. The escrow account shall maintain a balance equivalent to sixty (60) days of estimated disposal fees. Estimated disposal fees shall be based on the average of the solid waste collector's disposal cost from the preceding six (6) month period. If the disposal cost information for the preceding six (6) month period is not available, the Mayor shall reasonably determine the balance to be maintained in the escrow account. All escrow accounts shall be reconciled within five (5) business days after the date on which the solid waste disposal collector is notified of any deficiency in an escrow account. If the escrow account is not reconciled within five (5) business days, the Mayor shall impose a five percent (5%) penalty based on the amount due in the escrow account.

721.3The Mayor may impose a fine of up to five hundred dollars ($500) against any solid waste collector who delivers any materials, required to be recycled pursuant to District law or regulation, for disposal at any waste-handling facility as defined in §799.
