AI Summary

This bill aims to increase recycling efforts by landlords and tenants in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends Section 8H of Chapter 40 of the General Laws, which deals with recycling programs. The key provision requires that any recycling program established under this section must mandate that owners of apartment buildings with three or more units, and condominium associations with three or more units, provide the necessary resources and materials for their tenants or unit owners to recycle designated materials. These designated recyclables and the recycling methods will be determined by the local city, town, or district recycling program. This change is intended to ensure that more residents in multi-unit dwellings have the means to participate in local recycling initiatives.
