AI Summary
This bill proposes an investigation and study by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to enhance statewide recycling programs and municipal waste management in Massachusetts. The study will examine the fiscal impact, legal and regulatory barriers, existing laws and regulations, grant programs, new technologies, and infrastructure needs. It will also explore the feasibility of expanding public space and urban center recycling, curbside and multi-unit dwelling recycling, composting initiatives, and a statewide single-stream recycling pilot program. Additionally, the study will examine the feasibility of implementing a data-based sunset provision to the Massachusetts bottle deposit law, which would repeal the deposit program if the recycling rates of covered and non-covered materials become equal. The secretary will report the findings and recommendations to the relevant legislative committees by December 31, 2018.
