A 2263 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes timeframe for adoption of, and requires public comment on, proposed annual economic benefits for certain solid waste facilities; authorizes residents to petition State to establish or adjust annual economic benefit.

This bill establishes mandatory annual payments from solid waste facility operators to municipalities where facilities are located. It requires landfills to pay at least $1.00 per ton of waste accepted (and transfer stations $0.50 per ton), with payments structured as cash, tax exemptions, or other agreed benefits. The law creates a 180-day negotiation window between municipalities and operators, followed by a mandatory 45-day public comment period before finalizing payments. Residents can also petition the state to establish or adjust these payments if they believe current benefits are unreasonable.
