It allows a DEP permitted bulky waste facility or municipal landfill to submit a plan for accepting special waste or processed construction and demolition wood waste.
Special waste includes such things as fly ash, sewage sludge, asbestos, and biomedical waste.
Among other things, the plan must identify which waste can be screened, tested, and disposed of at the facility and the rate at which they can be processed. DEP must approve or deny the plan. If approved, the plan takes the place of the DEP authorization needed to accept such waste. The bill changes some restrictions on heavy metals in packaging materials. It also broadens a ban on the introduction of heavy metals by packaging manufacturers and distributors.
