The bill prohibits the disposal of such infrastructure in mixed municipal solid waste, in non-recycling solid waste processing or disposal facilities, or on land.

Additionally, the bill outlines enforcement mechanisms under existing sections 115.071 and 116.072, ensuring compliance with these new disposal restrictions. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the environmental impact of disposing of renewable energy components.
