RCRC Sponsored Hazardous Waste Management Bill Clears Policy Committee

On Tuesday, March 22nd, the Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee passed Assembly Bill 2481 (Smith, R-Hesperia), which now goes to the Assembly Appropriations Committee for consideration.

RCRC is sponsoring AB 2481 to reduce administrative and financial burdens on local governments that administer household hazardous waste collection facilities (HHWCFs); provide flexibility for operation of local HHWCFs; and facilitate proper disposal of hazardous waste.

RCRC has been working closely with the Department of Toxic Substances Control, local enforcement agencies, and local programs to develop common sense proposals to improve the existing hazardous waste management system.

RCRC’s letter of support can be found here.  For more information, please contact RCRC Policy Advocate, John Kennedy.
