Full Breakdown
Garland County Code § 54-49 adopts Exhibit A, the county's solid waste and recycling fee schedule, as the governing rulebook for commercial container service in the unincorporated area. Front-loading containers of 4, 6 and 8 yards run $28.00, $34.00 and $44.00 per tip, and a customer must keep at least one scheduled tip every two weeks for a minimum of three months once service starts; moving an empty container costs $30.00, and an unscheduled extra pickup adds $20.00 per tip. Businesses that generate smelly waste must take weekly front-loading service.
A one-time or random user pays a $35.00 setup fee plus $10.00 per tip, with a minimum of one tip every two weeks. County-owned roll-off boxes come in two sizes: a 22-yard box at a $275.00 base rate, $6.00 per day, capped at 6 tons before a $45.00-per-ton overweight charge applies; and a 48-yard box at $600.00, $8.00 per day, capped at 13 tons before the same $45.00-per-ton overage. 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.
A privately owned roll-off hauled to the county system is billed flat at $45.00 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)).
