HF1352 would class nonprofit thrift resale as residential generators for solid‑waste tax purposes
Summary
Rep. Witte’s bill would change the definition of residential generators to include nonprofit thrift resale stores that accept donated goods, lowering the state solid‑waste tax rate applied to those organizations from the commercial rate to the residential rate, proponents said the savings would be reinvested into community programs.
Representative Witte said House File 13 52 aims to recognize that nonprofit thrift retailers receive residential donations and are primarily diverting material from the waste stream rather than producing commercial waste. “Nonprofit thrift retailers are not commercial producers of waste, but rather recipients of residential donations,” Witte said.
