The solid waste service fee schedule will be based on full cost recovery <br />standards. <br /> <br />Listed fees are subject to applicable taxes. The director or designated employee shall, <br />at the time of payment, round the total service fees and taxes owing up to the nearest <br />whole dollar when any fraction of a dollar owing is $.50 or greater, and round the total <br />service fees and taxes owing down to the nearest whole dollar when any fraction of a
