governments to form a public service monopoly when they find that a
public service monopoly is an effective means to protect the public
health and welfare, and the environment through any of the following:
1. Adequate solid waste collection, transportation, storage and
disposal practices which are the only effective means of allowing the
construction and utilization of a resource recovery facility for the
recycling of solid waste for use as an energy source.
2. The implementation of other solid waste management projects,
such as source reduction and recycling, which are part of an approved
comprehensive plan required under section 455B.306, and if the
formation of a public service monopoly is the only effective means of
accomplishing solid waste reduction and recycling. The public
service monopoly shall utilize private recycling industries in the
service area when possible. Section History: Recent Form
