Any county may grant and regulate franchises for the purpose of collection and disposal of solid waste, as solid waste is defined by subdivision 34A-6-1.3 (17), in those parts of the county not subject to the jurisdiction of a municipality. Such franchises may be granted for a part of the county. No franchise is valid unless approved in an election by a majority of the electors voting on the question. Such election shall be held in that part of the county affected by the franchise. Such franchise may not be granted for a longer period than ten years.
