S 2567 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes timeframe for adoption of, and requires public comment on, proposed annual economic benefits for certain solid waste facilities; authorizes residents to petition State to establish or adjust annual economic benefit.

This bill establishes clear rules for payments from solid waste facilities to municipalities where they operate. It requires landfill operators to pay at least $1 per ton of waste accepted annually, and transfer station operators to pay $0.50 per ton, with specific payment mechanisms allowed (cash, tax exemptions, etc.). The law mandates that negotiations between municipalities and facilities must conclude within 180 days, followed by a 45-day public comment period on proposed payments before final approval. Residents also gain the right to petition the state to establish or adjust these payments if they believe current benefits are insufficient.
