Rebate from the solid waste management tax for materials removed from the waste stream for recycling, composting, or reuse required; and money appropriated.

HF 3172 provides rebates to resource recovery facilities and waste-to-energy facilities that separate materials from waste streams for recycling, composting, or reuse. Facilities must report annual tonnage of processed materials (e.g., recyclables, compostables, or ash) by February 1 each year, triggering rebates of $30 per ton for recycling/reuse and $20 per ton for ash utilization. The rebates are funded from existing solid waste tax revenues, with $30 million annually allocated for this purpose. The program begins July 1, 2025, and requires facilities to submit detailed reports to the state revenue commissioner.
