Whenever or wherever there exists exceptional conditions of ownership, tenancy, occupancy or use affecting the collection of garbage and the collection of the rates and charges imposed in this article or resulting in heavy accumulation or necessitating frequent collections of garbage, the city clerk, with the approval of the city council, is authorized to enter into agreements with the owner or occupant of the premises as to the proper charges to be paid by such owner or occupant, which charges shall be made as nearly uniform as practical and proportionate to other charges for similar services set forth in this section.
