If haulers are not a regulated party, how can jurisdictions and businesses be held accountable if the haulers are not required to provide services and/or report out to the jurisdictions?

The legislation was developed to place the requirement on businesses to use any combination of recycling options, including:

  • Allowing for the pickup of recyclables
  • Self-hauling recyclables
  • Subscribing to a recycling service
  • Using a mixed waste processing facility

It seems unlikely that a community would have no options for businesses to recycle. Additionally, the jurisdictions may establish their own requirements on haulers. Finally, as each jurisdiction’s situation is unique, the assigned Local Assistance and Market Development representative will work with jurisdictions to assess their particular situation.
