This bill aims to increase access to recycling in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It requires all cities and towns that provide curbside waste removal to also provide curbside pickup of recyclable materials, and all cities and towns 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, including the provision of adequate recycling containers.
