Deposit Fee
For containers, a commercial solid waste service deposit is required. Payments to the City that
are not received by the due date will result in the customer's deposit being increased during the
next billing cycle. The deposit increase will be based upon the customer's billing history. To
continue receiving service, the customer is required to remit the previous service balance owed
and the increased deposit charges. The General Manager, Solid Waste Services, or designee, may
waive the deposit based upon the review of the customer's credit history and other criteria.
No Parking Zone Fees for Containers in Right -of -Way
No Parking Zone fees provide for an identifiable and painted area in the street which is
designated as a vehicular No Parking Zone, which provides for road clearance, allowing the
City's trucks to always have accessibility to the customer's container. The No Parking Zone is
designed to prevent the container from being blocked by another vehicle, and therefore
eliminates additional service fees from being charged to the customer, and the need for the city's
truck driver to return to the customer's address and empty the container once a vehicle blocking
a container has moved. Customers may secure a dedicated No Parking Zone for front load and
side load containers by completing an application with the City Traffic Engineer.
12
Container Cleaning Fees
Commercial container cleaning services are available for front -load or side -load containers. The
service is a one-year service subscription that is elected by the customer. The one-year service
agreement is on a annual basis, not a fiscal year basis.
Only empty containers will be transported and cleaned, and are projected to be off the customer's
site for no longer than four hours.
Shared commercial container customers that desire to have their containers cleaned shall
determine the monthly amount to be billed to each customer, which when totaled shall equal the
monthly rates for scheduled services or the on -demand service rate.

Violations / `No Operations' Declaration
A business which has not been permitted by the City to operate within the City limits of Denton;
or has been suspended by the City from operating within the City limits of Denton, Texas shall
be charged a sum of up to $500.00 per day by the City, for each day of violation of this
ordinance, if the provider violates the `No Operations' requirement prior to receipt of a City of
Denton permit, or during any suspension of a permit period. Each day of illegal operations
during a `No Operations' period is considered a separate violation and the service provider is
subject to being charged a sum of up to $500.00 for each day of violation. Following the receipt
of a `No Operations' declaration and prior to a service provider being reinstated to legally
operate within the City limits of Denton, the service provider must meet with the City staff to
update their application and agreement and make payment of all monies owed to the City.
If a service provider operates a vehicle within Denton's City limits which has not been permitted,
or uses a container which has not been permitted, or operates any piece of equipment with an
expired permit, or performs some other permit violation, or does not make payment of the
appropriate fees in a timely manner, the city will issue a `No Operations' declaration to the
service provider, and assess all applicable permit violation fees. Once a service provider has been
issued a 'No Operations' declaration from the City, all services to be provided within Denton's
City limits are required to cease. Non -permitted containers may be collected by the City and
stored until collection, storage, and permitting fees associated with each container are paid to the
City of Denton. Following a meeting with the City staff, and the payment of all monies owed the
City, the status of the permit will be determined.
24
Revocation of Services & Non -Renewal of Permits
If the City finds any requirement of the permit to have not been met, or violated, or observes
service providers operating within Denton's City limits without current permits, the City may
institute a `No Operations' declaration, and additionally revoke or not renew the service
providers permit, thereby requiring the service provider to cease all operations within the City
limits of Denton.
Reclassification of Recyclables
Recyclables containing ten (10%) percent or more contamination, as determined by the City, will
be considered refuse, and its collection may not be provided by service providers permitted
under this ordinance. This material shall be reclassified as refuse and will be collected by the
City of Denton. The General Manager, Solid Waste Services or his designee, will make the final
determination on whether stored recyclables contain excessive contamination, which at the
City's determination, may cause the reclassification of these materials to municipal solid waste
(MSW), thereby negating the ability of a service provider to transport this material within
Denton's City limits under their operating permit pursuant to this ordinance.
The City of Denton has the authority to inspect the contents of any container located within
Denton's City limits in order to determine the materials content of the container, so as to ensure
compliance with the contamination requirements, which shall not exceed 10%.

compliance with verbal and written instructions provided to the customer by Solid Waste
Department personnel at the landfill; or for nonpayment of delinquent funds owed by the
customer to the City of Denton, Texas; or for any violation of the law committed by the customer
within the landfill; or for any non-compliance by the customer with the Texas Commission on
