Hawaii HB751 establishes benchmarks for reducing solid waste and increasing organic waste diversion by 2035.

Hawaii HB751 sets statutory goals for reducing the solid waste stream and increasing organic waste diversion. The bill mandates that organic waste generators divert material from disposal via incineration, waste-to-energy, or landfill. It requires a 40% reduction by January 1, 2026, 70% by January 1, 2030, and 100% by January 1, 2035. Counties must incorporate these requirements into their integrated solid waste management plans, assessing the type and amount of solid waste feasible for recycling or bioconversion.
