Had no idea the solid waste of residents in Florida is “government property”, and that it is incinerated to generate electricity

Additionally, a license is required to transport more than a minimum weight of animal feces in every state.

Clearly Palm Beach saw her worms as a threat! I am so glad to be living in one of the few nearly non-existing land use restriction counties in the Eastern USA.
Other then junky mobile homes and fleets of long derelict cars in your yard, the county leaves you alone as long as you pay your taxes and do not commit crimes.

That would shut down ever household compost pile in the county. THen I suppose the county charges everyone to haul the stuff away

Sounds like a good gig for the county. Landfills are probably so expensive to operate due to sandy soils (and EPA) that that isn’t much of an option. Coal or gas has to come from far places to south Florida. There are no hydroelectric options in Florida. Really, only nuclear— or you burn something to make steam to run a generator.
Having customers pay you to ‘mine’ the junk and haul it for disposal into your boilers means you get paid on both ends of the transaction. Paid to collect, and paid for the electricity.
Still, a little manure or some spoiled vegetables to the worm farm shouldn’t be a threat to the city/county. (So, lack of a bribe paid to some official probably got the operation closed.)
