The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6228, aims to amend the general statutes to authorize regional solid waste management and recycling agreements among municipalities. This legislation is designed to facilitate collaboration between municipalities, enhance the use of technology in waste management, and ultimately reduce costs associated with solid waste disposal.

The bill's primary purpose is to lower the financial burden of solid waste management for municipalities and to prevent the expensive practice of shipping municipal solid waste out of state to landfills. By allowing municipalities to work together on waste management strategies, the bill seeks to promote more efficient and cost-effective solutions for handling solid waste and recycling.
