Massachusetts Waste Bans
Waste bans are prohibitions on the disposal and transfer for disposal of certain toxic and/or recyclable items. Waste bans are intended to encourage reuse and/or recycling of certain waste materials, conserve disposal capacity, and reduce adverse environmental impacts from waste materials containing toxic substances.
