(1) Any
governing body having jurisdiction is authorized to establish a solid wastes disposal
site and facility fund. The governing body having jurisdiction may levy a solid
wastes disposal site and facility tax, in addition to any other tax authorized by law,
on the taxable property within a county or municipality, the proceeds of which shall
be deposited to the credit of said fund and appropriated to pay the cost of land,
labor, equipment, and services needed in the operation of solid wastes disposal
sites and facilities and for any other solid wastes management purpose in or on
behalf of that county or municipality. Any governing body having jurisdiction is also
authorized, after a public hearing, to fix, modify, and collect service charges from
users of solid wastes disposal sites and facilities or transfer stations for the
purpose of financing solid wastes management in that county or municipality. In the
event that a countywide solid waste disposal site and facility tax has been imposed
with the consent of a majority of the voters in the county, that tax may continue to
be collected countywide and may accrue to the county's solid waste disposal site
and facility fund, notwithstanding any subsequent taxes as may be levied by any
municipalities within the county under this section.

(2) (a) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section shall be construed to authorize
any governing body having jurisdiction to collect service charges from users of any
privately owned or operated site and facility that is for the primary purpose of
processing, reclaiming, or recycling:

(I) Recyclable materials;

(II) Excluded scrap metal;

(III) Auto parts; or

(IV) Scrap that is composed of worn out metal or a metal product that has
outlived its original use, commonly referred to as obsolete scrap.

(b) Nothing in this subsection (2) shall be construed to prohibit any governing
body having jurisdiction from levying or collecting service charges from users of a
solid wastes disposal site and facility at which recycling occurs.
