Summary

Section 1 of the bill repeals the pollution prevention advisory
board and the pollution prevention advisory board assistance committee
when the bill takes effect, repeals the recycling resources economic
opportunity program on October 1, 2025, and repeals the front range
waste diversion enterprise and replaces it with the Colorado circular
communities enterprise (enterprise). The enterprise, in merging and
modernizing the purposes of the recycling resources economic
opportunity program and the front range waste diversion enterprise,
awards grants and other funding and provides technical assistance to local
governments, nonprofit and for-profit businesses, public and private
schools, and institutions of higher education throughout the state that
pursue a circular economy for waste management, including waste
diversion and aversion. Section 1 also creates the statewide voluntary
sustainability program to support businesses engaging, or looking to
engage, in sustainability efforts.
Under current law, user fees are imposed on operators of attended
solid waste disposal sites (operators) to finance the recycling resources
economic opportunity program and the front range waste diversion
enterprise. Section 2 applies those fees to the enterprise, requiring
operators of sites located outside of the front range to pay a fee of either
2 or 4 cents per load transported for disposal and requiring operators of
sites located in the front range, between July 1, 2024, and December 31,
2024, to pay a fee of 74 cents per cubic yard per load transported for
disposal and, on and after January 1, 2025, to pay a fee of 78 cents per
cubic yard per load transported for disposal.
Sections 3 through 10 make conforming amendments.
