This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 297H.01, Subdivision 8, modifying the definition of "residential generator" for solid waste management purposes.

Key Changes:

• Expands the definition of "residential generator" to include:

  1. Detached single-family residences generating municipal solid waste.
  2. Residents of multi-unit buildings (e.g., apartment buildings, townhomes, manufactured home parks) that receive individual waste management bills.
  3. Owners or associations of multi-unit buildings where waste management billing is handled collectively.
  4. New addition: Certain nonprofits (501(c)(3) organizations) that receive donated materials for resale or salvage from the previously mentioned residential entities.

• Clarifies exclusions: A self-hauler (a person handling their own waste disposal) is not considered a residential generator.

This amendment aims to refine waste taxation and management responsibilities by explicitly including nonprofit organizations that handle donated goods.
