equipment; contracts with city.
(a) The board of county commissioners of any county is hereby authorized to
acquire by lease, condemnation or purchase, lands to be used as a site for
the disposal of refuse. "Refuse" for the purposes of this act shall include
garbage, trash and solid waste. Upon the acquisition of any such site, the
board may build or construct any necessary buildings, incinerators or other
structures or improvements thereon and may acquire or make use of any
equipment presently owned by the county necessary for the proper, effective
and sanitary disposal of refuse. If the board of county commissioners shall
deem it to be in the best interests of the county, such board may in lieu
of acquiring a site as hereinbefore authorized, contract with any city or
cities located within such county and having a refuse disposal site, for
the use of such disposal site upon such terms and conditions as may be
agreed upon by the board of county commissioners and the governing body of
the city and may acquire equipment or make use of any equipment presently
owned by the county pursuant thereto.
(b) Any site acquired pursuant to this section, and any structures,
improvements or equipment thereon, shall be subject to all permit and other
requirements of the solid waste management laws of this state.
