Proposed producer responsibility primary regulations

The Solid Waste and Materials Management Program is proposing changes to Section 18.9 of the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Sites and Facilities, 6 CCR 1007-2 Part 1.

The Producer Responsibility Program for Statewide Recycling Act was signed into law in June 2022. By January 1, 2026 and each year thereafter, the Executive Director shall develop an eco-modulation bonus schedule that is designed to reduce producer responsibility dues of producers that meet certain benchmarks established by the Executive Director. The department is also required to establish rules for the administration, operation, and enforcement of the program.

The department will be holding a series of stakeholder meetings to discuss the proposed changes and receive feedback. The meetings are currently scheduled on the following dates:

August 20, 2025 - 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
September 3, 2025 - 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
