The Department of Solid Waste offers charge accounts to high volume users of the Larimer County Landfill. Some of the advantages to charging are:
- Charge accounts and payments are handled entirely by mail--you never need to visit our office.
- You write one check per month for loads hauled--no prepaying.
- You receive an itemized receipt for each load and an itemized statement at month end.
- You never run short--your charge account is available to you 8 1/2 hours a day, six days a week in the winter, seven days a week in the summer, as long as your account is current.
- Drivers do not need to carry cash, which can be difficult to control.
- Purchase order systems can use a blanket purchase order to open the account.
When each load is brought in, the driver signs and receives a copy of the charge receipt. Bookkeepers can reconcile the receipts to the itemized statement they receive at month end. There are three types of accounts:
- one with a $500.00 credit limit (with $100.00 deposit)
- one with a negotiable limit suited to the customers needs (with $500.00 deposit)
- one for non-profit agencies
To open a charge account, read and sign the application, and return it with your deposit check. If approved you will receive your charge cards within ten days after we receive your application.
Q. Do I have to have my card with me to charge?
A. Yes. For security reasons and for speed and accuracy we use bar codes to enter your
account number.
Q. Do I get my deposit back?
A. Yes. If you pay in full and on time for 12 consecutive months, your deposit will be
refunded.
Q. Which type of account do I need?
A. If you consistently have $500.00 or less in landfill fees each month, you may open a
TYPE II account which allows you to charge a maximum of $500.00 in any billing
period with a $100 deposit. If you ever pay more than $500 per month, you need a
TYPE I account which requires a $500 deposit.
There are other account types available for non-profit and government agencies -- please call for details.
Q. How many cards do I get?
A. You can request as many cards as you like. We recommend one for each vehicle.
Q. What happens if I lose my card?
A. Call our office immediately! You are responsible for all charges made on your card
until you report it lost. You will be charged $5 (up to $25.00), for each card replaced if you account
number is changed.
Q. How do I close my account?
A. You must notify our office in writing to close your Type I or Type II account. You
MUST destroy your cards when you close your account.
