AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- COMPOSTING AND ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION

Summary

The bill creates a surcharge on solid waste that is sent to landfills or transfer stations, directing the revenue into dedicated compost and grant funds. Municipalities must opt in to receive grant money for waste‑diversion projects, and the surcharge is adjusted every five years for inflation or a 20% increase, whichever is higher. The goal is to reduce landfill use, increase composting, and support climate‑friendly soil management.
