The daily charge is waived once a site has kept the box for six continuous months, and at least one tip is required each month of service. 00 per ton.
All these rates run through the county's solid waste management committee, which sets charges subject to quorum court approval (§ 54-42(c)); customers billed for container service who fall more than 90 days delinquent by November 1 have the unpaid charge moved onto the county's personal property tax rolls (§§ 54-43, 54-44).
Violations & Fines
There is no separate criminal penalty for dumpster placement itself, but Garland County treats unpaid container charges as delinquent fees: accounts more than 90 days past due on November 1 go onto the county's personal property tax records and must be paid to the solid waste department before the taxpayer's property taxes can be accepted (§§ 54-43, 54-44). A ten percent late fee applies to any bill not paid by the 20th of the month it is due (§ 54-42(d)).
