Bill > H747

This bill aims to increase access to recycling in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It defines "recyclable" or "recyclable material" as materials that have the potential to be recycled and are pre-sorted, including containers, films, wraps, newspaper, office paper, cardboard, and other grades of paper. It requires all cities and towns in the Commonwealth that provide curbside waste removal to also provide curbside pickup of recyclable materials, and those with waste drop-off sites to offer recycling at those facilities. The bill also prohibits the mixing of recyclable materials with solid waste destined for disposal, and requires all solid waste collection service providers to offer single-stream or dual-stream recycling collection services to residential and commercial customers at least once every other week.
