Introduced
by
To impose a $7.50 per ton tipping fee (tax) on all solid waste deposited in Michigan landfills, and use the money to promote and pay for recycling programs. Under House Bill 4222 most of the money would be distributed to local governments, mostly allocated on a per-capita basis, with some exceptions. Those municipalities that provide curbside recycling programs would get more money. This would increase an existing 21-cent per ton levy on garbage dumped in landfills.
Referred to the Committee on Great Lakes and Environment
