AI Summary

This bill aims to encourage municipal recycling and composting. It amends the existing law to require all cities, towns, or districts to establish a recycling program that mandates residents, schools, and businesses to separate recyclables and compostable waste from their solid waste. The program must include curbside collection of recyclables or provision for separation and storage at municipal landfills or transfer stations. Additionally, the bill requires owners of apartment buildings with three or more units and condominium associations with three or more units to provide the necessary means and materials for their tenants or owners to participate in the recycling program.
