operated by the Corporation under express authority issued by the Province of
Ontario. Many of the rules and regulations in this Section are imposed to ensure
that the Corporation operates the Landfill Sites in accordance with these
authorities. Some of these rules and regulations are imposed to enable the
Corporation to receive the full benefit of recycling programs offered by other orders
of government. Failure to comply will result in increased costs to the Corporation
and/or decreased revenues to the Corporation. Some of these rules and
regulations are imposed for the health and safety of the Attendants or other
persons on the Landfill Sites at any given time. Due to the severe consequences
associated with violating these rules and regulations, the public is expressly notified
that the rules and regulations will be strictly enforced.

to the attention of the Clerk, in writing, for later resolution or clarification by
Administration or Council of the Corporation.
6.17
No Interference: No person shall interfere with an Attendant who is
undertaking his or her duties in accordance with this By-law or with his or her

By-law 2016-006.
7.1
Punch Cards for Residentially Occupied Properties: Owners of Residential
housing units in Neebing will be supplied with a Punch Card annually, free of
charge. The number of punches is set out in By-law 2016-006.
Punch Cards will only be valid for a one-year period starting on August 1st
and ending July 31st. Any unused punches will not carry over into the next
period.
No Punch Cards will be provided free of charge to any person who is not a
property owner. Tenants and other occupiers will need to obtain their Punch
Card from their landlords, or purchase them from the Municipal Office.
No Punch Cards will be provided free of charge to owners of properties that
do not contain Residential housing units.
Punch Cards will only be provided to owners of vacant land with a
recreational trailer, if they have purchased a trailer licence.
All commercial users shall purchase Punch Cards, Commercial Punch

property ownership or residential address within Neebing will be required at
time of purchase.
7.2.1
Other Property Owners: Punch Cards may be provided on a case-
by-case basis to owners of property that do not have residential
and/or commercial uses.
Persons wishing to request a punch card shall submit the request,
in writing, to the Clerk. The Clerk will review the request and
approve the provision of a punch card if there is sufficient evidence
that the use of a Punch Card is warranted.
7.3
Large Loads: Subject to Section 7.4, fees for disposal of Waste by load
rather than in Garbage Bags must be pre-paid at the Municipal Office before
the Waste will be accepted at the Sandhill site.
7.4
Promise to Pay/Invoice: Persons attending the Sandhill Site not having pre-
paid but attending with larger Waste loads will be required to sign an
acknowledgement of the load, including a promise to pay. The person will
be required to demonstrate proof of either residency or property ownership
in Neebing. The Municipal Office will issue an invoice, which will be mailed
to the person who signed the promise to pay, at the earliest opportunity.
Invoices will require remitting payment to the Municipal Office within fifteen
(15) days from the date of the invoice. Late payments will be subject to the
interest and/or penalties set out in By-law 2016-006. Where a person has
an outstanding invoice under this section, his or her privileges under this By-
law may be revoked until such time as all payments are up to date.
A person signing a promise to pay is deemed to sign on behalf of every
owner of the property which entitled him or her to use the Landfill Site. The
promise to pay document will contain a statement whereby the person
signing the document expressly acknowledges that he or she has the
authority of the other property owners to sign the document and bind all of
them to the payment. Disputes with respect to this authority are disputes
between the property owners and/or occupants themselves and cannot
involve the Corporation.
7.5
Collection Through Tax Roll: In addition to being subject to penalties, the
amount of money that is outstanding after an invoice has been issued under
Section 7.5 but has not been paid, may be added to the municipal tax roll for
the qualifying property, and collected in like manner as municipal taxes.
8.
SPECIAL ACCESS: Special access may be provided to a Landfill Site, either
within or outside of regular operating hours. Special access will be considered on a
case-by-case basis.
Persons or organizations wishing to request access shall submit the request, in
writing, to the Clerk. The Clerk will review the request and authorize access with
consideration to staff availability and landfill capacity.
If special access is granted outside of regular operating hours, the person to whom
access was granted shall pay a fee, in addition to any other fees Council may have
imposed, for the Attendant, as set in the User Fees By-law 2016-006.
Fees for special access under this Section may be pre-paid or by a promise to pay
invoice in accordance with Section 7.4 of this By-law. If the fees are pre-paid and
the calculated total differs from the prepaid amount, then either an invoice will be
sent or a refund issued.
9.

1st and September 30th annually. Summer hours are:
