Disposal of Preproduction Plastic Materials

Senate Bill 26-016, enacted in 2026, prohibits a person from disposing of preproduction plastic materials at a location that does not have federal interim status, a federal permit granted pursuant to the federal 'Solid Waste Disposal Act', or a state permit for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste at a hazardous waste site.     The act removes this prohibition and instead prohibits the disposal of preproduction plastic materials at a location that is not a solid wastes disposal site and facility with a certificate of designation.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
