	"We recieved a complaint that someone in our county has a raw garbage pile on their property, and now neighbors are down in the dumps about a rodent infestation they're saying it's causing. The county offers trash service, can we make them use it?"

Yes. A county may offer solid waste disposal service to persons in its territory and require the use of the service by those persons. Health and Safety Code §364.034
