Bill Summary

Relative to illegally disposing of certain waste. Environment and Natural Resources.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Section 16 of Chapter 270 of the General Laws by introducing new requirements for large waste disposal bags. Specifically, the bill mandates that waste disposal bags measuring eight feet in width, two and one-half feet in height, and 4 feet in depth must have an identifying serial number attached to their strap handles and sides. Furthermore, sellers of these large waste disposal bags are required to establish a tracking system using these serial numbers to help ensure that waste is disposed of properly. The goal appears to be improving waste management and potentially reducing illegal waste disposal by creating a more traceable system for large-scale waste removal, though the specific enforcement mechanisms are not detailed in the bill text.
