PURPOSE: To discuss operational and funding options for Orange County Solid Waste and
Recycling Programs.
BACKGROUND: Orange County is recognized as being number one in the state for waste
reduction, reaching 59% of its 61% aggressive reduction goal. The County is disposing only
0.56 tons /person compared to the base year of 1991 -92, when the disposal rate measured 1.36
tons. In the region, Wake County has achieved a 25% reduction rate, Durham County rate is at
21%, Chatham County is at 37 %, and Alamance County at 26 %. Orange County's 61% waste
reduction goal was adopted in 1997 by the County and by the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill
and Hillsborough as part of the County's original Comprehensive Solid Waste Plan. The County
is committed to continuous robust public education services and waste reduction programs
regardless of the funding or operational program implemented by the Board.
The County's Reduce, Reuse & Recycle (3 -R) Fees consists of four annual recycling fees
adopted by Orange County in 2004 to fund recycling programs and services that are billed in
conjunction with the annual property tax. The fee consists of a Basic Fee ($37 /year) that is
charged to all improved properties county -wide and funds various recycling operations such as
the county Toxicity Reduction Improvement Program (Household Hazardous Waste, batteries,
waste oil, electronics, etc.), recycling drop -off sites, recycling at solid waste convenience
2
centers, education and outreach, enforcement, planning, etc. An Urban Curbside Fee
$52/ ear is assessed to improved residential properties within incorporated municipalities and
funds weekly curbside recycling service. A Rural Curbside Fee ($38 /year) is charged to
residential property in areas of unincorporated Orange County eligible to receive bi- weekly
curbside recycling service. Finally, a Multi- family Fee ($19 /year) is charged multi - family units
throughout Orange County for multi - family recycling services. See the Attachment 4, Solid
Waste Recycling Division Schedule of Revenues and Expenses for Fiscal 2011/2012.
Not related to recycling, the County also assesses a county -wide Solid Waste Convenience
Center Fee that is billed in conjunction with the annual property tax. The Unincorporated Areas
Fee is ($20 /year /Household), Incorporated Areas Fee is ($10 /year /Household), and Multi- family
Fee is ($2 /year /multi - family unit). This basic Solid Waste Convenience Center Fee covers a
portion of the operating costs of the County's five (5) Convenience Centers.
A recent court decision, Lanvale v Cabarrus County, essentially says that where there is no
direct statutory authority to levy a fee, a local government cannot levy a fee. Since the Lanvale
opinion was issued, Orange County's staff has been engaged in discussions regarding how,
going forward, the County can best address the issues created by this action of the Supreme
Court. The Basic Fee is likely consistent with existing law, but the Urban, Rural and Multi- family
recycling fees may not be consistent with existing case law. The County Manager will
recommend that the Board of County Commissioners cease assessing the Urban, Rural and
Multi- family recycling fees beginning with the Fiscal 2013/14 Annual Budget. The County
Manager further recommends funding these services for Fiscal 2013/14 only with solid waste
enterprise fund reserves to allow the County time to transition to an alternative solution.
The Rural Curbside program currently is limited to 13,730 households eligible in the
unincorporated area of the County. A rural curbside recycling fee is charged to those
households where recycling services are made available. These services are provided by
County Staff. Just 6,000 households lack access to rural curbside service at this time and are
not charged the Rural Curbside Fee. Waste collections in unincorporated Orange County are
provided by private haulers, without a County Franchise Agreement, on a voluntary basis to
those using the services.
The Urban Curbside recycling fee is charged to Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough
municipal residents by the County for urban curbside recycling services. The services are paid
for by Orange County Solid Waste under contract with Waste Industries, Inc. and the towns are
responsible for household solid waste within their town limits.
The Multi- family Fee is charged to each multi - family establishment in both incorporated and
unincorporated Orange County based on the number of residential units for collection of
recyclable materials at each of these locations. The multi - family recycling services are provided
by Orange County Solid Waste staff.
North Carolina General Statute 153A -136 (Attachment 1) Regulation of Solid Waste, gives
counties the authority to grant a franchise for the exclusive right to collect or dispose of solid
waste within all or a defined portion of the county and prohibit others from collecting or
disposing of solid wastes in that area. The County is exploring a franchise agreement process
for the unincorporated areas of the County which would include the privatization of curbside
household solid waste and recycling. The County may by resolution permit a Solid Waste
Ordinance to be adopted by the Towns and applicable within the Town limits. The Towns may
3
negotiate a fee schedule that differs from the fees established by the County for privatized
curbside solid waste or recycling services.
North Carolina General Statute 160A -327 (Attachment 2) provides that a unit of local
government may displace a private company that is providing collection services for household
solid waste or recovered material. The County is following the procedure outlined in GS 160A-
327. The earliest possible date for the Board to hold a hearing to consider implementing
provisions of the statue is April 23, 2013.
On March 7, 2013 the Board approved the scheduling of a public hearing on April 23, 2013 to
discuss a proposal to move toward a county -wide Franchise agreement for curbside Solid
Waste and Recycling Services in the unincorporated areas of Orange County and directed staff
to proceed with the various steps required in NC General Statutes. Both rural solid waste
collections and rural curbside recycling could be included in a county -wide Franchise
Agreement.
Below is the anticipated timeline, if Orange County moves toward the Franchise of Curbside
Solid Waste and Recycling Services in Unincorporated Area of Orange County:
• March 15, 2013 — Notice to existing private solid waste collection services of the April 23,
2013 public hearing to discuss Franchise Agreement and displacement of private solid
waste collection services
• April 9, 2013 — Funding options for Orange County's Recycling Programs discussed by
the Board
• April 23, 2013 — Public Hearing to discuss Franchise Agreement and displacement of
private solid waste collection services implementing the 15 month public notice
requirement
• April 23, 2013 — June 15, 2013 — Create Request for Proposals (RFP) - Franchise
Agreement
• June 15, 2013 — August 15, 2013 RFP — available for vendors to responses
• August 15, 2013 — September 30, 2013 — Staff evaluation of proposals and negotiations
with vendors
• October 8, 2013 Work Session — Discussion of Franchise Agreement
• November 5, 2013 — Public Hearing to consider Franchise Agreement
• November 19, 2013 — Board Approval of Franchise Agreement
• July 1, 2014 — December 31, 2015 — Phased Implementation of Franchise Agreement
The Board requested that staff present available options for Orange County to fund the
County's Recycling Programs at a regular Board meeting on April 9, 2013. A county -wide
Franchise agreement for curbside Solid Waste and Recycling Services in the unincorporated
areas of Orange County is only one option being considered by the Board.
Options 1 creates an Authority which would operate much like Orange Water and Sewer
Authority (OWASA) as a standalone regional solution. This option would require the cooperation
of two (2) or more local governments to form an Authority. An Authority would not be included in
the County's General Fund Budget and would be governed by an independent board.
0
Options 2, 3, & 4 explore the creation of a Solid Waste Tax Service District which would
function much like a Fire District. The size of the district and scope of services provided by the
district would be determined by the Board. A Solid Waste Tax Service District would not impact
the County General Fund but would be an independent special revenue fund.
Options 5 & 6 propose to create a Solid Waste Franchise Agreement which could privatize rural
curbside solid waste and /or rural curbside recycling. If Solid Waste collections are part of a
comprehensive franchise agreement solution, unincorporated Orange County could be divided
into districts which could be serviced by multiple private haulers. With either a county -wide
franchise agreement or dividing the County into districts, a number of the existing twelve (12)
private haulers may be displaced. Towns could opt in or opt out of a Franchise Agreement
Option 7 is the only option that would impact the County's General Fund Budget, by financing
recycling via the General Fund and would possibly have impact on the funding formula for
Education, based on the 48.1 % of the County's General Fund commitment to Education.
Option 8 could eliminate rural curbside recycling relying on Convenience Centers and Drop -off-
sites. Urban and Multifamily Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be left up to the
Towns.
Municipal Solid Waste & Recycling Funding Options:
1) Eliminate all 3 -R Fees & Create a County -Wide Solid Waste Management Authority.
North Carolina General Statute's 153A -421 (Attachment 3) outlines how two or more
units of local government may create a regional solid waste management authority by
adopting substantially identical resolutions to that effect in accordance with the
provisions of this Article. The resolutions creating a regional solid waste management
authority and any amendments thereto are referred to in this Article as the "charter" of
the regional solid waste management authority. Units of local government which
participate in the creation of a regional solid waste management authority are referred to
in this Article as "members ". The purpose of a regional solid waste management
authority is to provide environmentally sound, cost effective management of solid waste,
including storage, collection, transporting, separation, processing, recycling, and disposal
of solid waste in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. (The Basic 3 -R
Fee could remain in place as part of decisions an Authority might make in determining
revenue sources as services are extended county- wide.)
2) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and supplement recycling with the creation of a
County -Wide Solid Waste Tax Service District, to serve unincorporated areas of the
County. Encourage the Towns to join the District, otherwise Urban and Multifamily
curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns.
3) Eliminate all 3 -R Fees including the Basic 3 -R Fee & Create a County -Wide Solid Waste
Tax Service District, to serve unincorporated areas of the County. Allow the Towns the
option to join the District, otherwise Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling would be
left up to the Towns. The new Solid Waste Tax Service District would fund the operation
all five (5) Convenience Centers and recycling Drop -off Sites.
5
4) Keep the Basic 3 -R Fee and Create a Solid Waste Tax Service District for current Rural
Curbside Routes serving 13,730 households. Urban and Multifamily curbside recycling
would be left up to the Towns. A Solid Waste Tax Service District could be expanded to
include all of the unincorporated areas of Orange County.
5) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and create a County -Wide Solid Waste Franchise
Agreement that could cover all Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Collections and Recycling
in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. Municipalities within the County could
have the option to participate in the Franchise Agreement and negotiate a fee schedule
that differs from the fees established by the County. An anticipated time line is discussed
above.
6) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and create a County -Wide Recycling Franchise
Agreement that could cover all curbside recycling in the unincorporated areas of Orange
County. Municipalities within the County could have the option to participate in the
Franchise Agreement and negotiate a fee schedule that differs from the fees established
by the County. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Collections by the Towns and private
haulers in the unincorporated areas of the County would not change.
7) Keep only the Basic 3 -R Fee in place and supplement recycling with a contribution from
the General Fund, estimated to be $1.7 million annually, to keep Urban, Rural and
Multifamily curbside recycling in place. A contribution of $1.7 million from the General
Fund to the Solid Waste Fund would equal 1.1 cents on the County Property tax rate.
The funding formula for Schools sets a target of 48.1 % of General Fund Expenditures for
Schools. This would add $1.6 million for a total cost to the County of $3.3 Million or 2.1
cents on the County Property Tax Rate to supplement recycling with a General Fund
Contribution.
8) Keep the Basic 3 -R Fee, eliminate all other 3 -R Fees, and eliminate rural curbside
recycling relying on Convenience Centers and Drop- off - sites. Urban and Multifamily
curbside recycling would be left up to the Towns. The County could increase the number
of Recycling Drop- off - sites, both urban & rural, and increase the Basic 3 -R fee to pay for
the operation of the new Centers.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County in discussing funding options
for the County's Recycling Programs. There will be no impact on Solid Waste employees, with
reductions to be managed through attrition, retirement and /or placement within Solid Waste.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager's prioritized recommendations are based upon
suggested considerations that attempt a comprehensive solution approach to a much broader
issue than just the impacts related to the "R Fees" created by the recent rulings of the North
Carolina Supreme Court in the Lanvale decision. It is certain that the existing "R Fee" system
for funding `curb -side' recycling within the Towns and portions of rural Orange County must
change. The shift from a fee based recycling program to possible property tax based funding
options will have an impact on all property owners and create the inequity of property owners
paying for services that they may not utilize. Responding only to that need presents less than a
comprehensive approach to the larger issue of solid waste management practices in Orange
County going forward after June 30, 2013 when the Orange County Landfill closure occurs.
A
The listed recommendations come in order of preference based upon a comprehensive
approach. They are based upon options that either include the Towns as `active - partners', as
`consenting - partners' or accept the Towns will pursue a non - committal path that allows them the
flexibility to do whatever is best for their needs individually versus a county -wide solution.
Ultimately, a final best decision can be accomplished via a transition process that occurs over
some period of time. At the moment, funding solutions for what is in place becomes the priority
along with an equitable and equalized county -wide availability of service delivery options.
1. The optimal long -range solution for Orange County in this situation may be the
formation of a Solid Waste Management Authority provided for within North Carolina
General Statutes. The hurdle to this approach is that at least one of the three primary
Towns within the county must also agree to the creation of the Authority. A
comprehensive approach to both solid waste and recycling services can then be
pursued that is functional and fundable via many various options. Services can be
provided by County staff, contracted, franchised, optional or mandatory programs can
be developed and /or otherwise formulated to compensate for a transitional process
that ensures solid waste management and recycling remain an environmental priority
in Orange County. (Consensus on this approach among the towns may evolve into a
protracted process; a timely decision would be essential to success.)
2. If no Town is willing to work with the County on the Solid Waste Management
Authority approach, then a county -wide Solid Waste Tax Service District approach is
the more comprehensive and flexible option. It can provide services via County
staffing, franchised, contracted, optional or mandatory programs or otherwise
formulated approaches to both solid waste and recycling services as long as services
are delivered and funded on some basis county -wide in the unincorporated areas of
the County and can allow one or more towns to opt into the District once created.
(This approach could include some combination of the Basic 3R Fees along with a
county -wide tax.)
3. If either the Solid Waste Management Authority or the County -Wide Solid Waste Tax
Service District approaches are not acceptable, then some configuration of a modified
franchise approach to providing both solid waste and recycling services within the
unincorporated areas of Orange County on a voluntary participation basis offers a
solution. It allows existing participants in the unincorporated areas to gain the
services (and pay for them directly) and does not require persons not using the
services to pay for services they are not using (even though the services are
available). Towns can pursue individual franchise agreements for services and /or be
included in the County's efforts if they choose. (Again, the Basic 3R Fees could
remain in place to support convenience center operations.)
There are challenges and timelines that must be addressed with any of the options
recommended or highlighted within this presentation. The notification to existing private solid
waste haulers within Orange County and the scheduled public hearing related to the
Franchising option must go forward to allow all options further consideration. Funding
constraints do exist for continuation of existing programs beyond June 2014. As difficult as
this decision may be, ultimately a change from existing circumstances is required.
7
Finally, while the other options outlined may work to some extent they do extend significant
inequities and /or provide for a less `cost/service' focused approach to the issue and do not
pursue actions that address solid waste management as a priority. In Orange County it is
commendable that the County has the highest recycling rate in the State. There has been less
significance placed a comprehensive approach to solid waste management practices.
Outside of the Towns (which have assumed a role in solid waste collection), the County has
focused on solid waste disposal (landfill operations) and recycling services. Both these roles
are important environmental services. However, the landfill is closing June 30th, 2013; curbside
recycling services must be funded via a different approach than the `R Fees'; and no organized
approach exists for solid waste disposal in the unincorporated areas of the County except for
county operated convenience centers (which may ultimately be deemed a sufficient solution).
The recommendations above depart significantly from the County's historic approach to the
issues of solid waste and recycling. They offer a more comprehensive and sustainable
approach going forward. The Board of Commissioners has the prerogative to select from
any of the other available options and they can expect County Staff will do its best to
implement any decision made within parameters so established.

§ 153A -136. Regulation of solid wastes.
(a) A county may by ordinance regulate the storage, collection, transportation, use, disposal, and
other disposition of solid wastes. Such an ordinance may:
(1) Regulate the activities of persons, firms, and corporations, both public and private.
(2) Require each person wishing to commercially collect or dispose of solid wastes to
secure a license from the county and prohibit any person from commercially
collecting or disposing of solid wastes without a license. A fee may be charged for a
license.
(3) Grant a franchise to one or more persons for the exclusive right to commercially
collect or dispose of solid wastes within all or a defined portion of the county and
prohibit any other person from commercially collecting or disposing of solid wastes
in that area. The board of commissioners may set the terms of any franchise, except
that no franchise may be granted for a period exceeding 30 years, nor may any
franchise by its terms impair the authority of the board of commissioners to regulate
fees as authorized by this section.
(4) Regulate the fees, if any, that may be charged by licensed or franchised persons for
collecting or disposing of solid wastes.
(5) Require the source separation of materials prior to collection of solid waste for
disposal.
(6) Require participation in a recycling program by requiring separation of designated
materials by the owner or occupant of the property prior to disposal. An owner of
recovered materials as defined by G.S. 130A- 290(a)(24) retains ownership of the
recovered materials until the owner conveys, sells, donates, or otherwise transfers the
recovered materials to a person, firm, company, corporation, or unit of local
government. A county may not require an owner to convey, sell, donate, or otherwise
transfer recovered materials to the county or its designee. If an owner places
recovered materials in receptacles or delivers recovered materials to specific
locations, receptacles, and facilities that are owned or operated by the county or its
designee, then ownership of these materials is transferred to the county or its
designee.
(6a) Regulate the illegal disposal of solid waste, including littering on public and private
property, provide for enforcement by civil penalties as well as other remedies, and
provide that such regulations may be enforced by county employees specially
appointed as environmental enforcement officers.
(7) Include any other proper matter.
(b) Any ordinance adopted pursuant to this section shall be consistent with and supplementary to
any rules adopted by the Commission for Public Health or the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
(c) The board of commissioners of a county shall consider alternative sites and socioeconomic
and demographic data and shall hold a public hearing prior to selecting or approving a site for a new
sanitary landfill that receives residential solid waste that is located within one mile of an existing
sanitary landfill within the State. The distance between an existing and a proposed site shall be
determined by measurement between the closest points on the outer boundary of each site. The
definitions set out in G.S. 130A -290 apply to this subsection. As used in this subsection:
(1) "Approving a site" refers to prior approval of a site under G.S. 130A- 294(a)(4).
(2) "Existing sanitary landfill" means a sanitary landfill that is in operation or that has
been in operation within the five —year period immediately prior to the date on which
an application for a permit is submitted.
(3) "New sanitary landfill" means a sanitary landfill that includes areas not within the

legal description of an existing sanitary landfill as set out in the permit for the existing
sanitary landfill.
(4) "Socioeconomic and demographic data" means the most recent socioeconomic and
demographic data compiled by the United States Bureau of the Census and any
additional socioeconomic and demographic data submitted at the public hearing.
(d) As used in this section, "solid waste" means nonhazardous solid waste, that is, solid waste as
defined in G.S. 130A -290 but not including hazardous waste.
(e) A county that has planning jurisdiction over any portion of the site of a sanitary landfill may
employ a local government landfill liaison. No person who is responsible for any aspect of the
management or operation of the landfill may serve as a local government landfill liaison. A local
government landfill liaison shall have a right to enter public or private lands on which the landfill
facility is located at reasonable times to inspect the landfill operation in order to:
(1) Ensure that the facility meets all local requirements.
(2) Identify and notify the Department of suspected violations of applicable federal or
State laws, regulations, or rules.
(3) Identify and notify the Department of potentially hazardous conditions at the facility.
(f) Entry pursuant to subsection (e) of this section shall not constitute a trespass or taking of
property. (1955, c. 1050; 1957, cc. 120, 376; 1961, c. 40; c. 514, s. 1, cc. 711, 803; c.

160A -327. Displacement of private solid waste collection services.
(a) A unit of local government shall not displace a private company that is providing collection
services for municipal solid waste or recovered materials, or both, except as provided for in this section.
(b) Before a local government may displace a private company that is providing collection
services for municipal solid waste or recovered materials, or both, the unit of local government shall
publish notice of the first meeting where the proposed change in solid waste collection service will be
discussed. Notice shall be published once a week for at least four consecutive weeks in at least one
newspaper of general circulation in the area in which the unit of local government and the proposed
displacement area are located. The first public notice shall be given no less than 30 days but no more
than 60 days prior to the displacement issue being placed on the agenda for discussion or action at an
official meeting of the governing body of the unit of local government. The notice shall specify the date
and place of the meeting, the geographic location in which solid waste collection services are proposed
to be changed, and the types of solid waste collection services that may be affected. In addition, the unit
of local government shall send written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to all companies
that have filed notice with the unit of local government clerk pursuant to the provisions of subsection (f)
of this section. The unit of local government shall deposit notice in the U.S. mail at least 30 days prior to
the displacement issues being placed on the agenda for discussion or action at an official meeting of the
governing body of the unit of local government.
(c) Following the public notice required by subsection (b) of this section, but in no event later
than six months after the date of the first meeting pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the unit of
local government may proceed to take formal action to displace a private company. The unit of local
government or other public or private entity selected by the unit of local government may not commence
the actual provision of these services for a period of 15 months from the date of the first publication of
notice, unless the unit of local government provides compensation to the displaced private company as
follows:
(1) Subject to subdivision (3) of this subsection, if the private company has provided
collection services in the displacement area prior to announcement of the
displacement action, the unit of local government shall provide compensation to the
displaced private company in an amount equal to the total gross revenues for
collection services provided in the displacement area for the six months prior to the
first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section.
(2) Subject to subdivision (3) of this subsection, if the displaced private company has
provided collection services in the displacement area for less than six months prior to
the first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section, the unit of
local government shall provide compensation to the displaced private company in an
amount equal to the total gross revenues for the period of time that the private
company provided such services in the displacement area.
(3) If the displaced private company purchased an existing operation of another private
company providing such services, compensation shall be for six months based on the
monthly average total gross revenues for three months the immediate preceding the
first publication of notice required under subsection (b) of this section.
(d) If the local government elects to provide compensation pursuant to subsection (c) of this
section, the amount due from the unit of local government to the displaced company shall be paid as
follows: one -third of the compensation to be paid within 30 days of the displacement and the balance
paid in six equal monthly installments during the next succeeding six months.
(e) If the unit of local government fails to change the provision of solid waste services as
described in the notices required under subsection (b) of this section within six months of the date of the
first meeting pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the unit of local government shall not take action
to displace without complying again with the provisions of subsection (b) of this section.
(f) Notice of the provision of solid waste collection service shall be filed with the unit of local
htin:/ /www.ncfza.state.nc.us /aascriDtS/ statutes /statatelookuD.Dl ?statute =160a 2/25/2013
Chapter 160a Page 2 of 3 11
government clerk of all cities and counties located in the private company's collection area or within
five miles thereof.
(g) This section shall not apply when a private company is displaced as the result of an
annexation under Article 4A of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes or an annexation by an act of the
General Assembly. The provisions of G.S. 160A -37.3, 160 -49.3, or 160A -324 shall apply.
(h) If a unit of local government intends to provide compensation under subsection (c) of this
section to a private company that has given notice under subsection (f) of this section, the private
company shall make available to the unit of local government not later than 30 days following a written
request of the unit of local government, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, all information in
its possession or control, including operational, financial, and budgetary information necessary for the
unit of local government to determine if the private company qualifies for compensation. The private
company forfeits its rights under this section if it fails to make a good faith response within 30 days
following receipt of the written request for information from the unit of local government provided that
the unit of local government's written request so states by specific reference to this section.
(i) Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of a city or county to establish recycling
service where recycling service is not currently being offered.
(j) As used in this section, the following terms mean:
(1) Collection. - The gathering of municipal solid waste, recovered materials, or
recyclables from residential, commercial, industrial, governmental, or institutional
customers and transporting it to a sanitary landfill or other disposal facility.
Collection does not include transport from a transfer station or processing point to a
disposal facility.
(2) Displacement. - Any formal action by a unit of local government that prohibits a
private company from providing all or a portion of the collection services for
municipal solid waste, recovered materials, or recyclables that the company is
providing in the affected area at least 90 days prior to the date of the first publication
of notice required by subsection (b) of this section. Displacement also means an
action by a unit of local government to use an availability fee, nonoptional fee, or
taxes to fund competing collection services for municipal solid waste, recovered
materials, or recyclables that the private company is providing in the affected areas at
least 90 days prior to the date of the first publication of notice required under
subsection (b) of this section is given. Displacement does not include any of the
following actions:
a. Failure to renew a franchise agreement or contract with a private company.
b. Taking action that results in a change in solid waste collection services
because the private company's operations present an imminent and substantial
threat to human health or safety or are causing a substantial public nuisance.
C. Taking action that results in a change in solid waste collection services
because the private company has materially breached its franchise agreement

Article 22.
Regional Solid Waste Management Authorities.
§ 153A -421. Definitions; applicability; creation of authorities.
(a) Unless a different meaning is required by the context, terms relating to the management of
solid waste used in this Article have the same meaning as in G.S. 130A -2 and in G.S. 130A -290. As
used in this Article, the term "solid waste" means nonhazardous solid waste, that is, solid waste as
defined in G.S. 130A -290 but not including hazardous waste. In addition to the meaning set out in G.S.
130A -290, the term "unit of local government" means the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians in
North Carolina.
(b) This Article shall not be construed to authorize any authority created pursuant to this Article
to regulate or manage hazardous waste. An authority created under this Article may manage sludges,
other than a sludge that is a hazardous waste, under rules of the Commission for Public Health and
criteria established by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for the management of
sludge.
(c) Any two or more units of local government may create a regional solid waste management
authority by adopting substantially identical resolutions to that effect in accordance with the provisions
of this Article. The resolutions creating a regional solid waste management authority and any
amendments thereto are referred to in this Article as the "charter" of the regional solid waste
management authority. Units of local government which participate in the creation of a regional solid
waste management authority are referred to in this Article as "members ".
(d) As used in G.S. 153A- 427(a)(24), the term "transferred" means placed at or delivered to any
(i) place normally and customarily used by the authority for the collection of solid waste, (ii) other place
agreed upon by the generator or owner of recyclable materials and the authority, or (iii) facility owned,
operated, or designated by the authority. (1989 (Reg. Sess., 1990), c. 888, s. 1; 1991, c. 580, s. 2; 1991
(Reg. Sess., 1992), c. 932, s. 4; c. 948, s. 1; 1997 -443, s. I IA. 123; 2007 -182, s. 2.)
§ 153A -422. Purposes of an authority.
The purpose of a regional solid waste management authority is to provide environmentally sound,
cost effective management of solid waste, including storage, collection, transporting, separation,
processing, recycling, and disposal of solid waste in order to protect the public health, safety, and
welfare; enhance the environment for the people of this State; and recover resources and energy which
have the potential for further use and to encourage, implement and promote the purposes set forth in Part
2A of Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the General Statutes. (1989 (Reg. Sess., 1990), c. 888, s. 1.)
§ 153A -423. Membership; board; delegates.
(a) Each unit of local government initially adopting a resolution under G.S. 153A -421 shall
become a member of the regional solid waste management authority. Thereafter, any unit of local
government may join the authority by ratifying its charter and by being admitted by a unanimous vote of
the existing members. All of the rights and privileges of membership in a regional solid waste
management authority shall be exercised on behalf of the member units of local government by a board
composed of delegates to the authority who shall be appointed by and shall serve at the pleasure of the
governing boards of their respective units of local government. A vacancy on the board shall be filled
by appointment by the governing board of the unit of local government having the original appointment.
(b) Any delegate appointed by a member unit of local government to an authority created
pursuant to this Article who is a county commissioner or city or town alderman or commissioner serves
on the board of the authority in an ex officio capacity and such service shall not constitute the holding of
an office for the purpose of determining dual office holding under Section 9 of Article VI of the

ORANGE COUNTY SOLID WASTE ADVISORY BOARD
Preserve Orange County's Integrated Recycling Program Resolution
WHEREAS, the Board of Orange County Commissioners and staff have determined that
portions of the present 3 -R Fee, which serve to finance some services associated with
recycling in Orange County may not be authorized under present state legislation; and
WHEREAS, the SWAB finds that a primary goal for Orange County is to maintain the
high level of recycling services afforded the residents of Orange County and maximize
the volumes of material diverted from landfilling towards achieving the County's stated
61 percent diversion goal; and
WHEREAS, this goal cannot be achieved, nor can the current rate of diversion be
maintained, let alone increased, with a franchise subscription -based recycling program;
and
WHEREAS, the present solid waste system is a system that is highly integrated among
the county and the towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough.
Now, therefore be it RESOLVED by the Orange County Solid Waste Advisory Board
that the Board of Orange County Commissioners make every reasonable attempt to
achieve a financing option that preserves the present integrated recycling system and
associated solid waste disposal systems among all of the jurisdictions in Orange County,
and to particularly consider the option of a creating a single solid waste collection and
disposal district (in accord with NC GS § 153A- 301(a)(5)) as the mechanism to continue
financing this effort.
Be it further RESOLVED that the Solid Waste Advisory Board recommends revisions to
the existing Interlocal Agreement that would consider a District Interlocal Agreement for
Solid Waste that would preserve the interests of, and continuity for, all of the
participating jurisdictions while maintaining the administrative, operational, and fiscal
leadership of Orange County for recycling operations.
