Section 480-70-351. Rates, recycling programs, credits, or charges.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Programs to encourage recycling. The commission encourages solid waste collection companies to develop programs intended to increase recycling. The commission will, among other things, consider whether a proposed program:
    (a) Provides an incentive to the party who controls the actions or behaviors that the program intends to change;
    (b) Defines measurable outcomes reasonably attributable to the proposed program; and
    (c) May have any unintended results or consequences.
    (2) Recycling credits or charges. Companies that estimate the revenue from the sale of recyclable materials collected in residential curbside programs as part of a deferred accounting program to return recycling revenues or charges to customers must use the most recent twelve-month historical period to estimate the revenue for the next twelve months.
