The Director may in writing appoint a public officer, a facility operator or a person employed by a facility operator for the purposes of collecting any charge payable under this Regulation.
Payment of the charge to a public officer, facility operator or person appointed under subsection (1) is a sufficient discharge of the obligation to make the payment.
The Director may in any particular case reduce or waive, in whole or in part, any charge payable under this Regulation on being satisfied that the charge would, if imposed, be unduly burdensome or inappropriate in the circumstances of the case.
The Director may in any particular case refund, in whole or in part, any charge paid under this Regulation if the person who paid the charge—
lodges with the Director, not later than one month after the charge was paid, an application in writing for refund of the charge; and
satisfies the Director that the imposition of the charge was unduly burdensome or inappropriate in the circumstances of the case.
The charge is $2,715 per 1,000 kg of clinical waste.
Clinical waste of less than 0.1 kg is to be treated as if it were of 0.1 kg. The charge is calculated according to the weight of clinical waste measured to the nearest 0.1 kg, and is rounded to the nearest 10 cents.
