Bill > H2242

This bill amends the existing laws in Massachusetts regarding the permitting process for the removal, transportation, and delivery of refuse, such as garbage, offal, or other offensive substances. The key provisions are: 1. Requiring a single permit from the local board of health for any person or business to remove, transport, or deliver dumpsters throughout the state, rather than requiring multiple permits. This permit would cost no more than $150 annually and would expire at the end of the calendar year, but can be renewed. 2. Removing the requirement for a separate street occupancy permit to deliver or install a dumpster on private property, as long as it is not on a public way. 3. Prohibiting any state or local rules or regulations that restrict the hours of the day when garbage, offal, or other offensive substances can be collected in areas zoned for business, commercial, or industrial use.
