Establishes a boat shrink-wrap recycling program in Massachusetts.
The bill mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to create a recycling program for boat shrink-wrap. It requires marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, and other marine-related businesses to have collection sites for recycling boat shrink-wrap. Municipal recycling centers will receive funding from the Boat Shrink-Wrap Recycling Fund for this program. The fund will be financed by a 10 percent surcharge on boat registration, title, and permit fees, as well as other sources. The department may assist marine-related businesses in applying for grants.
