(a) Application. Any person who contracts to have the refuse on specified premises collected by a professional refuse hauler other than the person providing refuse collection service under contract with the Town under Section 7-5-40 above may apply to exempt the premises from refuse collection charges which would otherwise accrue by contacting the Finance Director or designee and providing his/her address or Town of Telluride Utility Billing Account number and the name and contact for the new service provider.

(b) Issuance. If the Finance Director or designee finds that all of the requirements of Subsection (a) above are fulfilled, s/he shall issue to the premises an exemption from any Town refuse collection service charges.

(c) Revocation. If for any reason the privately contracted professional refuse hauler ceases to provide collection services to fulfill the premises’ owner’s responsibilities under Section 7-5-10, the Town Manager shall revoke the exemption by mailing notice of revocation to the owner of the premises. Such revocation shall be without prejudice to a new application for exemption. Upon such revocation, the Finance Director shall commence billing the premises for any Town refuse collection service charges accruing under Division 3 of this Article. Such charges shall commence as of the first week when inadequate or no privately contracted professional refuse collection service was provided to the premises.
