Bill > H230

This bill, the NC Managing Environmental Waste Act of 2021, makes several changes to the state's laws regarding waste management and recycling. It amends the distribution of taxes received from the Solid Waste Disposal Tax, allocating 5% of the funds to cities and counties that provide plastics recycling services. It also requires state agencies, community colleges, and local school administrative units to report annually on their recycled content purchases and materials collected for recycling. Additionally, the bill directs the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Agriculture and Natural and Economic Resources to study issues related to food service ware, such as its environmental impact and recycling markets. Finally, the bill requires the Legislative Services Officer and the Division of Services for the Blind to implement measures to eliminate the use of food service ware in certain state-operated food establishments.
