An Act relative to waste disposal

This bill requires large waste disposal bags, defined as those measuring eight feet wide, two and a half feet high, and four feet deep, to display a unique serial number on their handles and sides. Sellers of these oversized bags must implement a tracking system using these serial numbers to monitor how the waste is disposed of. The law directly affects businesses that manufacture or sell large garbage bags and aims to improve oversight of waste disposal practices.
