RETURN CHECKS POLICY

Last Updated: March 10, 2026

1. Payment Rejection & Fees

In the event any payment is returned unpaid or declined, including, but not limited to, ACH rejections, returned checks, credit card declines, or payment disputes, the Company reserves the right to take the following actions:

  • Service Suspension: Immediately suspend waste collection services without prior notice until the account is brought current.
  • Administrative Fee: Assess a \$35.00 Returned Payment Fee per occurrence to cover administrative costs.
  • Cost Recovery: Recover all third-party transaction fees, merchant processor chargeback penalties, and reasonable collection costs incurred by the Company.
  • Payment Reinstatement: Require that all past-due balances and future payments be made via certified funds (e.g., cashier’s check or money order) as a condition of service reinstatement.

2. Unauthorized Chargebacks

Customer acknowledges that the services provided are non-refundable once performed. Customer agrees not to dispute or “chargeback” any valid charges that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Any unauthorized or bad-faith chargeback shall:

  1. Constitute a material breach of this contract.
  2. Entitle the Company to recover the original disputed amount, plus any legal fees or collection costs associated with defending the chargeback.
