Relevant factsFree

Facing a waste-disposal crisis, New York counties formed OHSWMA (defendant), a public benefit corporation, and passed flow-control ordinances requiring all locally generated waste to be delivered to OHSWMA's own processing sites rather than cheaper out-of-state facilities; United Haulers (plaintiff), a trade association of local waste companies, sued arguing the ordinances discriminated against interstate commerce, winning at the district court before the court of appeals reversed.

IssueFree

Whether a flow-control ordinance requiring all waste to be delivered to a government processor constitutes an excessive burden on interstate commerce.
