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 promoting more equitable waste management practices.

Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that allows mixed municipal solid waste collectors to impose a greater charge 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 the recycling of specific organic waste, aligning with broader environmental goals.
