The bill would let the Department of Defense use mobile solid-waste disposal systems to destroy illicit contraband, including seized counterfeit materials, unauthorized military gear, illegal drugs, and classified materials. The systems could support border security and drug interdiction, and could be made available to military sites and partner security forces. The bill would prohibit using open-air burn pits to dispose of illicit contraband, classified military equipment, or hazardous waste.
The bill concerns military waste disposal and security operations. It does not describe direct services or requirements for the public.
For fiscal year 2026, the bill would add $8.95 million for Army solid-waste disposal systems. It would offset that amount by reducing Army overseas operating-cost funds by $8.95 million, drawing the reduction from funds for open-air burn pits in contingency operations.
