HB 6664 an act managing waste and creating a waste authority
Creates an EPR program for packaging materials, establishes post-consumer recycled content standards for plastic beverage containers, and expands the current organics separation program by adding institutions. Requires that by 2028, all residents and businesses have access to source-separated food scraps collection, whether that be at the curbside or at a local transfer station. Allows DEEP to coordinate with municipalities and/or waste authorities to solicit waste infrastructure proposals that are consistent with the state’s Comprehensive Materials Management Strategy. Also establishes a $5 per ton fee on all waste that is shipped out of state and raises the fee on in-state waste to $3 per ton.
