Schedule "A" - By-law #43-2018
Waste Management Administration Policy
1.
Purpose
1.1.
The purpose of this policy is to define and outline a fair and
consistent program for administrating the Waste Management Program
as set out in By-Law #39-2018.
1.2.
The Council of the Township of Armour deems it necessary to
establish rules and regulations governing the disposal of garbage based
on a "Partial Pay-Per-Bag" system for residents and to implement
tipping fees to cover costs associated with the disposal of garbage and
other refuse.
2.
"Partial Pay-Per-Bag" and "Tipping Fees"
The Waste Management Facility will accept waste for disposal
produced within the Township of Armour, Township of Ryerson and the
Village of Burks Falls. Waste must be in a clear/transparent bag or
reusable waste container.
Residential property owners within the Township of Armour will be
provided with a "Landfill Card" which will allow them to dispose of a
designated number of bags per year, which the Township will purchase
from the TRI Communal Landfill. Each year, the council of the Township
of Armour will review the designated number of bags allotted as it moves
toward a "Full User-Pay" system.
Vacant and Commercial/Industrial property owners will be issued a
"Landfill Access Pass" which will provide access to the site; however,
the cost of disposal will be at the owners' expense based on the
Township's Fee By-Law.
2.1.
Municipal Administration
The Waste Management Administrator will establish a Landfill Card
System to monitor and control the disposal of garbage. The system will
generate electronic reports that will detail the disposal of household
garbage by each participating municipality. The reports will be used for
the breakdown of cost and fees which will be applied for the payment
by each shared municipality.
The Net Cost for the Waste Management Services shall be shared
between the Municipalities as follows:
(a) Each Municipality shall pay fifteen percent (15%) share of all costs.
(b) The balance (55%) of the cost shall be shared based on the number
of garbage bags each Municipality brings to the landfill in any given
year.
Each year, the Waste Management Administrator shall report the total
number of garbage bags each Municipality has deposited in the landfill.
Based on these numbers, each Municipality shall be assessed a
percentage share of the balance (55%) of the cost for the Waste
Management Services for the current year.
The Waste Management & Recycling for the Townships of Armour,
Ryerson and the Village of Burk's Falls will be based on the
administrating municipality collecting enough fees to cover the complete
cost of the service provided.
This may not be a full user pay system for each municipality, as it will
depend on what each municipality decides to charge directly to its
ratepayers and/or charge in its taxes.
The Waste Management Administrator will pre-load the Landfill Cards
with the applicable dollar value and distribute to each municipality. The
new Landfill Card will come into effect in January 2019 and will be
reloaded annually with the cash value equivalent to the designated
number of bags.
Initially, registered owners will be required to pick up the Landfill Card.
A form will be filled to apply the card number to the eligible property. As
properties change ownership, the registered card will be deactivated
and the outstanding dollar value will be transferred to the new property
owners' card.
Lost, stolen or misplaced cards will be deactivated when a property
owner requests a replacement and the requesting resident will be
required to purchase a new card.
Authorization forms will be used when a resident is unable to pick up
their Landfill Card "in person". Requests can be made to have the card
mailed or have an alternate person pick it up.
Landfill Access Pass
Landfill Access Passes will be issued to vacant, commercial and
industrial property owners. This pass will allow access to the site for
free recycling and diversion, however disposal of garbage/refuse will be
at the property owners' expense.
Temporary Identification Pass
A card system will be used to identify a Temporary Pass. Each office
will be supplied the Temporary Pass and the landfill staff will be made
aware of its purpose. The temporary identification pass will allow
renters to access the site, however disposal fees will apply.
Landfill Charge Account
The Township of Armour recognizes the necessity of managing tipping
fees for large projects and third-party tipping. Applications will be
submitted to the Waste Management Administrator. Applications will
be processed and approval of account shall be established prior to
the acceptance of material at the landfill. The TRI R landfill staff
reserve the right to refuse loads. Failure to follow the governing by-
law will result in termination of accounts and full payment of
outstanding balance will be due.
This account will only apply for material being delivered from the
property address identified on the application. An application must
be submitted for each project and origin of material must be identified
at the attendants' request.
3.
Payment of Fees
As of September 30th, 2018 the Landfill will no longer accept cash for
the payment of fees. A debit transaction terminal will be available for
payment at the site or a charge account must be established for
customers with larger volumes of waste.
It should be understood that any outstanding balances on eligible
accounts will be applied to the tax card if payment on invoices are not
received and the applicable account will be deactivated.
4.
Communication
The Landfill Administrator will review the policy with the Landfill and
Office Administration Staff. All information collected will be recorded on
the applicable forms.
