collection
Each county, city or town may establish regulations for private collection of solid
waste within its area of jurisdiction, including standards for equipment, hours of
operation, license fees and insurance requirements as necessary and appropriate to
operate a solid waste collection program. Ordinances or regulations authorized by this
section and section 49-704 shall be equal to or more stringent than the provisions of
this chapter and rules and regulations adopted by the department under this chapter. If
authorized by statute, each county, city or town may provide for criminal and civil
penalties for violation of such ordinances or regulations provided that such penalties do
not exceed the penalties authorized by this chapter.
