THE UNDERSIGNED ACCEPTS THE FEE CHARGED AS A LAWFUL DEBT AND PROMISES TO PAY SAID FEE INCLUDING THE COST OF COLLECTION, REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES, AND COURT COSTS IF SUCH BE NECESSARY, WAIVING NOW AND FOREVER THE RIGHT TO CLAIM EXEMPTION UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA. IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS 90 DAYS PAST DUE, THIS IS CONSIDERED FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL LAW AND WILL NECESSITATE LEGAL ACTION AS PROVIDED BY THE LAW, INCLUDING CHARGING THE PERSON IN VIOLATION WITH A CRIMINAL MISDEMEANOR.
The Alabama Law (AL Code 22-27-1, et seq) that establishes mandatory services and participation in the collection of solid waste or garbage by the City of Slocomb, provides that every person, household, business, industry, or property owner is liable for the monthly or annual fee for the solid waste or garbage collection service made available.
