Section 4741.7.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this chapter, or of Article 4 (commencing with Section 5470) to the contrary, a district may fix and collect a fee or charge in connection with its refuse transfer or disposal system only pursuant to the provisions of Section 5471, and for these purposes "sanitation or sewerage system" includes a refuse transfer or disposal system. Any entity which collects such a fee or charge for a district pursuant to the provisions of Section 5471 may deduct the administrative costs of these collections from the revenue produced from such fee or charge. The revenues of these charges shall not be used for acquisition, construction, maintenance, or operation of any refuse transfer or disposal system, whether by the district, jointly, by contract, or otherwise, unless the system is either a facility for the conversion of solid waste into energy, synthetic fuels, or reusable materials or is open for use by all persons in the district. For the purposes of this section, "person" includes an individual, company, public or private corporation, or public entity.
