HB 3504 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the "Producer Responsibility Program for Statewide Recycling Act"

HB 3504 creates a statewide recycling program requiring manufacturers (producers) of covered packaging and paper products to fund and manage recycling collection systems. It directly affects producers selling these materials in the state, as well as residents and businesses (covered entities) where recycling collection occurs. Key provisions include establishing an Advisory Board to develop a "Final Plan" for collection, setting minimum collection rates, and defining "covered materials" (like most packaging and paper) while excluding items such as medical packaging, beverage containers with deposits, and certain industrial materials. The program mandates producers to cover costs for collecting and recycling covered materials from homes and designated locations like schools and government buildings.
