Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Counties set trash contracts, with or without bids

Beginning July 1, 2026, county boards decide how solid waste services are provided. They can use contracts, franchises, or other arrangements, and may award them with or without competitive bidding. Counties can pick private companies, other governments, or a mix. Households may see different providers or pricing based on local choices.

Choose any hauler for project dumpsters

Beginning July 1, 2026, you can hire any trash company for a temporary, project-specific container. This applies even if your county has an exclusive collection contract. The container must meet your county’s definition of temporary and project-specific. This helps with remodels, construction, cleanups, and events.
