 (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1047)Sec. 5-1047.     Garbage, waste and refuse facilities.     A county board may  furnish grounds or other facilities for the disposal, treatment or  recycling of garbage, waste and refuse by sanitary landfill methods or  other appropriate technologies and may charge a reasonable fee  on the basis of weight for disposal, treatment or recycling at such  facility, and may acquire property necessary or appropriate for  such disposal grounds or other facilities. The county board may issue and sell  revenue bonds, payable solely from revenues or income derived from the  operation of such dumping or disposal grounds, or other facilities for the  purpose of acquiring, furnishing and operating such garbage and refuse  disposal grounds and other facilities and their improvement or extension  from time to time and of paying cost thereof including engineering,  inspection, legal and financial fees and costs, working capital, interest  on such bonds during construction and for a reasonable period thereafter,  establishment of reserves to secure such bonds and all other expenditures  of the county incidental and necessary or convenient thereto. In addition  the county board may from time to time issue revenue bonds to refund any  such bonds at maturity or pursuant to redemption provisions or, with the  consent of the holders, at any time before maturity.Bonds issued under this Section must be authorized by ordinance adopted  by the county board. To secure payment of such bonds, the ordinance shall  set forth the covenants and undertakings of the county in connection with  the issuance thereof, and the issuance of additional bonds payable from the  revenues or income to be derived from the operation of any grounds or other  facilities for the disposal or recycling of refuse, as the case may be, as  well as the use and operation thereof. No such bonds may be payable from  taxes nor constitute an indebtedness of the county within the meaning of  constitutional provisions and limitations, and such fact shall be plainly  stated on each bond.Such bonds shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or  serially at such times not more than 40 years from their respective dates,  may bear interest at a rate not exceeding the rate specified in  the general interest rate law for units of local government, per year, payable  semi-annually, may be in such form, may carry such registration privileges,  may be executed in such manner, may be payable at such place or places, may  be subject to redemption in such manner, and upon such terms with or  without premium as is stated on the face thereof, and may be executed in  such manner by such officers and may contain such terms and covenants, all  as provided by the ordinance authorizing the issue.Such bonds shall be sold in such manner as the board determines.Notwithstanding the form or tenor thereof, all such bonds are negotiable  unless it is expressly stated on their face that they are non-negotiable.If any officer whose signature appears on such bonds or on coupons  attached thereto is no longer an officer when the bonds are delivered to  the purchaser, the signature is nevertheless valid and sufficient for all  purposes to the same effect as if that officer was in office when the bonds  were delivered.In order to secure repayment of revenue bonds issued to finance  regional pollution control facilities, to further this State's policies and  purposes, to advance the public purposes served by resource recovery, and  to authorize the implementation of those solid waste management policies  counties deem in the public interest, any county which has prepared a solid  waste management plan or is a signatory to a plan providing for the  management of solid waste generated by more than one county or  municipality, shall have the authority to require by ordinance, license,  contract or other means that all or any portion of solid waste, garbage,  refuse and ashes generated within the unincorporated areas of a county be  delivered to a regional pollution control facility designated by the county  board or a transfer station serving such facility for treatment or disposal  of such material.  Such ordinance, license, contract or other means may be  utilized by a county to ensure a constant flow of solid waste to the  facility notwithstanding the fact that competition may be displaced or that  such measures have an anti-competitive effect. A county may contract with  private industry to operate the designated facility and may enter into  contracts with private firms or local governments for the delivery of waste  to the facility. Signatories to a solid waste management plan shall have  the right of first access to the capacity of the facility notwithstanding  such contracts with private firms or other units of local government.
