An Act relative to waste disposal
This bill requires sellers of large waste disposal bags (exceeding 8 feet wide, 2.5 feet tall, and 4 feet deep) to affix a unique serial number to the bag's handles and sides. Sellers must also implement a tracking system using these serial numbers to monitor waste disposal. The law directly affects commercial sellers of these oversized bags, aiming to improve accountability in waste management. It creates a specific, measurable requirement for bag identification and tracking without altering broader waste disposal regulations.
