The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 115A.93, subdivision 3, by eliminating the requirement for residents who do not recycle organics to pay for organics recycling services. This change aims to alleviate financial burdens on residents who do not participate in organics recycling, thereby encouraging more equitable access to waste management services.

Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that allows mixed municipal solid waste collectors to impose higher charges on residents who recycle source-separated compostable materials and sole source food waste streams managed through biodegradative processes compared to those who do not recycle these materials. This adjustment is intended to incentivize proper recycling practices while maintaining a fair pricing structure for waste collection services.
