152. The Community may establish, possess and operate garbage disposal centres within or without its territory, and regulate the use thereof.
From the time when such a garbage disposal centre is in operation, no municipality shall grant or renew a contract for garbage collection unless the manner of disposing of such garbage is approved by the Community.
The municipalities may continue to operate, maintain and repair all the garbage disposal centres already in operation or under construction on 1 January 1970. They shall not, however, without the authorization of the Community, allocate public funds to the enlargement of existing garbage disposal centres or develop new ones.
The Community, by by-law, may compel the municipalities to make available to other municipalities the municipal garbage disposal centres already in operation, upon payment of a fair and equitable compensation fixed by the Community and approved by the Commission municipale du Québec.
