4. OTHER SERVICES
(a) Youth Athletic Leagues: Solid waste services received by Youth athletic leagues utilizing City park facilities under a Longview Parks and Recreation Department Facility Use Agreement shall be charged at twenty-five (25%) of the commercial rates set forth in this Resolution. In order to qualify for this reduced rate, the youth athletic league must be the customer, and this reduced rate applies only to the additional service requested by the league beyond the basic solid waste service provided to the Parks and Recreation Department for each facility.
(b) Commercial-Residential Mixed-Use Accounts: Solid waste services received by commercial accounts that also provide for residential units within the same structure shall be considered as “commercial only” accounts and such residential units shall not be required to pay the per-unit fee as defined in Section 1(c) of this Resolution. The calculated charges for these “commercial only” accounts will be based on the number of containers placed at the business and the number of picks per week as defined in Section 2(a) and (b) of this Resolution. A recycling rate of $5.17 shall be applied to the commercial rate for each residential unit within each of these designated commercial-residential accounts.
(c) Additional Services: The Solid Waste and Recycling Manager shall determine charges for additional services not provided for in this resolution. The provision of such additional services, and the charges for such additional services, are subject to review and approval by the Director of Community Development.
(d) Recycling Inspection Services: All recycling roll-out containers placed out for collection from single family residences, up to and including fourplexes, shall be inspected periodically for non-recyclable solid waste. Whenever a recycling container has been removed pursuant to LMC 7.12.130, the rate for a “garbage-only” account shall be $39.34 per month until it has been determined the recycling service may be reinstated, subject to LMC 7.12.130.
In addition, all large recycling containers placed at participating multifamily-apartment complexes shall also be inspected periodically for non-recyclable solid waste. Whenever a recycling container has been removed and replaced by an equal number of solid waste containers pursuant to LMC 7.12.130, the rate for solid waste shall be based on the number of containers assigned for the multifamily-apartment complex and the number of picks per week for collection until it has been determined the recycling service may be reinstated, subject to LMC 7.12.130.
(e) Extended Distance Service: Extended service shall be provided by the City for disabled citizens. A disabled person for purposes of receiving this service is one, that because of his/her disability (as certified by his/her physician or caregiver), cannot wheel his/her garbage and/or recycling cart to the point of collection. In particular a customer must meet the following guidelines in order to receive the extended distance service:
• be disabled where said person cannot wheel a full or partially full garbage and/or recycling cart to the point of collection because of his/her disability as certified by his/her physician or caregiver; and
• no person residing with the qualified applicant can wheel a full or partially full garbage and/or recycling cart to the point of collection.
The rules and regulations for implementation of this service shall be promulgated by the Director of Community Development, or his/her designee. For those that have submitted an application to the City to receive the extended distance service and that such application has been reviewed and approved by the City, the applicant shall receive said service at no cost for a period not to exceed one year. The application shall be renewed on an annual basis to determine whether the person qualifies for continuing the extended distance service, and that it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to notify the City if they move from the property in which the extended distance service is being provided. (Res. 2386, 2021; Res. 1804, 2004).
