An Act relative to requiring the sealing of containers transporting solid waste

This bill requires anyone transporting solid waste originating in Massachusetts to cover it with a hard top or biodegradable seal that hardens after application. It directly affects municipalities, businesses, and individuals moving solid waste by vehicle, train, barge, ship, or scow within the state. The key provision mandates this covering method to prevent waste from scattering during transport. The Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Transportation will create rules to implement and enforce this requirement. The law aims to reduce litter and improve waste management safety on roads and waterways.
