(1) The state of Iowa has mandated that the city provide for a comprehensive solid waste reduction program consistent with the state-established waste management requirements. The state-mandated requirements for waste reduction includes volume reduction and recycling as preferred methods of implementing state policy. The state of Iowa has also established certain waste volume reduction goals for all citizens of the state to meet by July 1, 1994, and further waste volume reduction goals to meet by July 1, 2000.

(2) The most practicable way for the city to meet the state requirements is to institute mandatory garbage collection and recycling in the city limits of the city. [Ord. 424-A § 1, 1992; Code 1975 § 3-4.0102.]
