Payment of charges and levy of surcharge

(1) The Director shall from time to time issue to the registered 
account-holder a notice of demand specifying the amount of the charge payable
by the registered account-holder for waste disposed of from his
registered vehicles at refuse transfer stations during the period specified in
the notice. The amount of the charge shall be payable within 30 days from the
date of the notice in such manner as may be specified in the notice.

(2) Where a charge is not paid as required by subsection (1), a surcharge of
5% of the unpaid charge shall become payable and the total amount of the
unpaid charge and surcharge shall be paid within 14 days from the date on
which the surcharge becomes payable under this subsection.

(3) Where the total amount of unpaid charge and surcharge is not paid as
required by subsection (2), the Director may suspend the registration of the
registered account-holder and of any vehicle registered in his name, and any
vehicle so suspended ceases to be a registered vehicle during the period of
suspension.

(4) Upon suspension of the registration of any person as a
registered account-holder, the Director shall issue to that person a final
notice of demand requiring payment within 14 days of its issue of-

   (a)  all charges and surcharges which have not been paid as required by
        subsection (2); and

   (b)  all other unpaid charges incurred in relation to registered  vehicles
        of that person before the suspension.

(5) Where a final notice of demand is settled as required under subsection
(4), the Director may, as a condition for restoring the registration of that
person, require the registered account-holder to pay such amount as he thinks
fit to increase the amount of deposit.

(6) Where the final notice of demand is not settled as required under
subsection (4)-

   (a)  in the case of any charge under subsection (4)(b) which remains
        unpaid, a surcharge of 5% of such unpaid charge shall become payable;
        and

   (b)  the Director may revoke the registration of that person as a
        registered account-holder.
