Massachusetts S621 aims to reduce solid waste, increase recycling, and generate municipal cost savings.
Massachusetts S621 seeks to reduce solid waste, increase recycling, and generate municipal cost savings by implementing stricter regulations on waste disposal and recycling. The bill mandates that solid waste management facilities remove and divert banned waste materials to the greatest extent possible. Haulers face fines for exceeding allowable amounts of banned waste materials, with escalating penalties for repeat offenses. A surcharge on waste disposal funds the Zero Waste Fund, used for recycling, composting, and education programs.
