A. Pursuant to the provisions of the Act and applicable provisions of state law, including but not limited to Cal. Gov’t. Code § 25830 et seq., the county may levy fees upon collectors, persons, responsible parties, and real property within the county that benefit from the solid waste disposal system in the county, for solid waste handling services, including but not limited to solid waste collection and transfer, and the collection and transfer of recyclables and/or compostables. Such fees may include charges for the costs of preparing, adopting and implementing source reduction and recycling elements and integrated waste management plans and for providing solid waste disposal sites. The county may determine to collect all or part of such charges on the tax roll, or by such other means as the Board may elect.

B. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Board may waive any applicable fees for authorized recycling contractors and collectors of compostables.

C. The county may charge a fee as established by the Board of Supervisors for the receipt of solid waste at the transfer stations and/or the landfill which is not “source separated.”

D. The county may charge a fee for solid waste with origin into the solid waste stream from outside the county, which fee may include a component or components for infrastructure costs which are otherwise borne by county real property owners and holders of possessory interest through solid waste benefit assessments not paid by out-of-county residents.

E. All fees received pursuant to this section shall be deposited to the solid waste enterprise fund. (Ord. 844, eff. 10/1/96)
