§ 115A.956 — Solid Waste Disposal; Problem Materials
Plain-Language Summary
This section requires the MPCA to develop a plan identifying problem materials — hazardous or difficult-to-manage items that should not go in regular trash — and to plan for their separate collection and proper disposal. Once sufficient processing and disposal capacity is confirmed, the agency can make rules that ban specific problem materials from mixed municipal solid waste.
