Bill Summary
Relative to recycling by state agencies. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote recycling in public spaces across Massachusetts. It requires all state agencies, courts, and certain high-traffic facilities like stadiums and museums to provide recycling receptacles for glass, metal, paper, and plastic containers by January 2022. Municipalities must also establish plans for recycling receptacles in public spaces by January 2023. The Department of Environmental Protection is empowered to enforce these requirements and levy fines for non-compliance, with the revenue going towards an expendable trust to cover administrative costs and further education. The bill also directs the Department to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the law.
