Per Curiam:
This action was filed by several Gove County residents to enjoin the Gove County Commission from assessing fees, pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Commission, for collection of solid waste materials by the county's designated solid waste collector. The trial court found that the Gove County solid waste resolution and the contract between the Commission and R.E. Ringer, for collection of the waste, were valid and enforceable and denied the petition for a permanent injunction. Several of the original plaintiffs have appealed.
In the spring of 1975 the Gove County Commission adopted a resolution to put into effect a solid waste management system in compliance with K.S.A. 65-3401, et seq., and also entered into a contract with R.E. Ringer for the collection of the solid waste. As Ringer had an interest in the issues before the court, he was allowed to intervene.
The learned trial judge filed his memorandum opinion and judgment as follows:
