Abstract:
In solid waste management flow-control means a local government directing where solid waste generated within its jurisdiction is to be transported or disposed of. The local government wants to ensure that the waste is disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Private solid waste management companies oppose this as they consider the restrictions as anti-competitive and harmful to their business interests. In the case discussed here the Court held that flow-control ordinances do violate the commerce clause of the US Constitution.

Abstract:
This bulletin discusses a U.S. Court of Appeals case that struck down previous cases that upheld against Commerce Clause challenges various local government arrangements that required municipal solid waste to be collected by a single hauler or disposed of in a designated facility. In Huish Detergents, Inc. v. Warren County the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit decided such an arrangement imposed a flow control regime contrary to C&A Carbone, Inc. v. Town of Clarkstown. This case, along with others that preceded it, offers some useful lessons to local governments in how not to structure exclusive hauling and disposal arrangements.
