§ 7. Responsibility to accept solid waste
(a) The District may become responsible for providing a system for solid waste disposal,
as delineated in subsection (b) of this section when the Board of Supervisors declares
the disposal system operational.
(b) The District may provide a system for disposal or recycling of all solid waste generated
by residential and commercial activities within the member municipalities. The District
may provide for the disposal of solid waste from industrial activities within a member
municipality. The District may provide for the disposal of sludge through contract
with a member municipality, provided the sludge is disposed of at no cost to the other
member municipalities. Finally, the District may contract with a nonmember municipality
or a private entity for the disposal of solid waste generated outside the boundaries
of the District, provided the contract will not increase the cost of solid waste disposal
to the member municipalities.
(c) Each member municipality agrees to act as a host community in the event the District
decides to establish a solid waste transfer, treatment, or disposal facility within
that member municipality. (Amended 2011, No. M-11 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. July 12, 2012.)
