  1. Some agency or officer of the county already in existence;
  2. A county sanitation department to be created;
  3. A board established as provided in § 5-19-104; or
  4. Contractual arrangements the county may make between itself and any municipality, any utility or other service district, any private organization or any combination of such entities engaged in garbage and rubbish collection services or garbage and rubbish disposal services, or both.
