Stat. § 115A.921, <br />A city may charge a fee that cannot exceed $1 per cubic yard of waste, or its <br />subd. 1. <br />equivalent, on operators of facilities for the disposal of mixed municipal <br />solid waste located in the city. The fees must be credited to the city's general <br />fund. Revenue produced by 25 cents of the fee must be used only for <br />purposes of landfill abatement or for mitigating and compensating for the <br />local risks, costs, and other adverse effects of the facilities. <br />Revenue produced by the balance of the fee may be used for any general <br />fund purpose. <br />Minn. Stat. § 115A.921, <br />There is an exemption from this fee for waste residue from recycling <br />subd. 1. <br />facilities at which recyclable materials are separated or processed for the <br />purpose of recycling, or from energy and resource -recovery facilities at <br />which solid waste is processed for the purpose of extracting, reducing, <br />converting to energy, or otherwise separating and preparing solid waste for <br />reuse if there is at least an 85 percent weight reduction in the solid waste <br />processed. <br />Minn. Stat. § 115A.921, <br />A city also may charge a fee not to exceed 50 cents per cubic yard of waste, <br />subd. 2. Minn. Stat. § <br />t 15A.03, subd. 7. <br />or its equivalent, on operators of facilities for the disposal of construction <br />debris located within the city. The revenue from the fees must be credited to <br />the city general fund. Two-thirds of the revenue must be used only for <br />purposes of landfill abatement or for purposes of mitigating and <br />compensating for the local risks, costs, and other adverse effects resulting <br />from the facilities. <br />Minn. Stat. § 115A.921, <br />There is an exemption from 25 percent of this fee if the facility has <br />subd. 2. <br />implemented a recycling program that the county has approved, and 25 <br />percent if the facility contains a liner and leachate collection system the <br />MPCA has approved. Two-thirds of the revenue from this fee must offset <br />any financial assurances required by the city for a construction debris <br />facility. The maximum revenue that may be collected for this type of fee <br />must be determined by multiplying the total permitted capacity of a facility <br />by 15 cents per cubic yard. Once the maximum revenue has been collected <br />for a facility, the fees in this subdivision may no longer be imposed. <br />2. Accounting for fees <br />Minn. Stat. § 115A.929. <br />Cities that provide for solid waste management shall account for all revenue <br />collected from waste management fees, together with interest earned on <br />revenue from the fees, separately from other revenue collected by the city. <br />League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 6/9/2022 <br />City Solid Waste Management Page 10 <br />
