(a)

The board of county commissioners of Volusia County is authorized to prohibit the dumping or burial of garbage and other waste matter, and the use of sanitary landfill as a method of disposal of garbage and other waste matter within the unincorporated areas of the county unless the person, firm, corporation, municipality or political subdivision using such method or methods of disposal first obtains a permit from said board of county commissioners.
