Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law imposes a recycling fee of 30 cents per ton for solid waste, other
than certain kinds of high-volume industrial waste, disposed of at a landfill or other
waste disposal facility. This type of fee is often called a tipping fee. The recycling fee
is deposited in the recycling fund.
This bill increases the recycling fee to $2.00 per ton.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
