A. Every person or responsible party receiving services of an authorized collector for solid waste handling services shall be liable for all fees and charges for such collection. If such collection fees and charges (and any applicable interest or penalties) are not paid as required, the responsible party and the owner of the premises each shall be jointly and severally liable for their payment.

B. All charges or fees for service by an authorized collector shall be uniform for the same services as fixed and approved by the Board of Supervisors, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. Any person or responsible party contending that he or she has been required to pay an unauthorized charge for any service may file a written complaint with the solid waste fee administrator, setting forth the facts of such alleged unauthorized charge. The solid waste fee administrator shall then notify the collector of such complaint and shall investigate the matter of the complaint and conduct a hearing, if necessary, to determine whether the allegations of the complaint are true. The decision of the solid waste fee administrator may be appealed pursuant to Sierra County solid waste fee administration appeals system. (Ord. 844, eff. 10/1/96)
