Title

Government, local, prohibited from competing with private sector in waste management

Description

Currently a county, municipality, or solid waste authority may provide commercial front-end loader, roll-off, or commercial recycling collection services within the county or the municipality even if there are two or more private solid waste providers offering those services in the county.

This bill would prohibit a county, municipality, or solid waste authority from providing commercial front-end loader, roll-off, or commercial recycling collection services within the county or the municipality if there are two or more private solid waste providers offering those services in the county.

This bill would exempt a governmental entity that provides residential solid waste and recycling collection within its own jurisdiction and allow a governmental entity to collect residential solid waste and recycling collection within its own jurisdiction.

This bill would require each county, municipality, or solid waste authority in violation of this act, within six months from the date of its approval by the Governor, or its otherwise becoming law, to cease its operations that are in conflict with this act.
