Proposal would have put $1 million into New Hampshire’s waste fund

New Hampshire would have put $1 million into its solid waste management fund. The governor could have drawn the money from state funds not already committed elsewhere. Unspent money would have remained available after the two-year funding period. The funding covered the two years ending June 30, 2027; the proposal set July 1, 2025, as its start date.

The state would have used half the funding to give certain waste projects priority. Projects that reduce food waste or keep food and other organic waste out of the trash would have received priority. Priority would not have guaranteed funding for any project. That priority would have lasted until June 30, 2028.
