AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 21A of the General Laws to require all state agencies, courts, and certain other public facilities in Massachusetts to recycle glass containers, metal containers, paper, and plastic bottles. By January 1, 2020, these entities must provide recycling receptacles in public buildings and open spaces, and work with property owners if the buildings are not owned by the state. The bill also requires municipalities to file recycling plans for their public spaces by January 1, 2021 and implement them by January 1, 2022. The Department of Environmental Protection is authorized to fine entities for noncompliance, with the revenue going to an expendable trust to cover administrative costs of implementing and enforcing the law.
