In addition to the solid waste disposal fee assessed by the state under § 34A-6-1.17 and by a political subdivision under § 34A-6-29, a county or municipality may impose and levy a solid waste disposal fee upon the disposal of solid waste at a solid waste facility within, or operated under, its jurisdiction. Fees imposed under this section are in addition to all other fees and taxes levied by law.

The fee imposed in this section shall be paid by the owner of the solid waste disposal facility and remitted to the county or municipal treasurer. The obligation to pay the fee accrues at the time the solid waste is disposed of at the solid waste facility. The owner of the facility may collect these fees from persons disposing of solid waste at the facility. The fee imposed by this section is due and payable by the owner on or before the fifteenth day of the month next succeeding the month in which the fee accrued together with a return on a form prescribed by the county or municipal treasurer. Each person required to pay the fee imposed by this section shall keep complete and accurate records in a form required by the county or municipal treasurer.
