Bill > A10624

This bill establishes extended producer responsibility for household appliances and refrigerants. It requires that by December 31, 2025, producers submit a plan to the Department of Environmental Conservation for a collection program that meets certain requirements, such as providing free and convenient collection sites across the state. The bill sets recycling and recovery rate targets for household appliances and regulated refrigerants that producers must meet over time. It also bans the disposal of household appliances and regulated refrigerants as solid waste after January 1, 2028, and imposes requirements on retailers and the Department of Environmental Conservation to support the new program.
