0. Relative to compost and recycling in public housing 1. Any provider of public housing that receives funding from the State of New Hampshire shall ensure that all occupants of said housing have the option to use compost and recycling, if said occupants express a desire for such an option. 2. This act authorizes the spending of money to provide for recycling and compost services to public housing providers that are unable to provide these services on their own, the exact amount for which is to be appropriated in the budgets that the legislature routinely passes. (This became LSR 2022-2265) It then became HB1172: http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_status.aspx?lsr=2265&sy=2022&sortoption=&txtsessionyear=2022&ddlsponsors=409026 It failed, but for the next term it will be LSR 2023-0182 Feedback from Natch Greyes: - make it a landlord requirement instead? So that municipalities can pick it up if they already do... i.e., if a municipality already provides compost & recycling pickup services, then landlords have to allow them to pick up compost & recycling - enforcement: code enforcement under municipality - municipalities with transfer station = study committee? - Get in touch with Reagan Bissonnette; see nrrarecycles.org - "solid waste district" = multiple municipalities coming to an agreement - all communities required to provide a way for waste disposal; sometimes includes recycling - very few do compost - some do yard waste - individual community mandate vs. hiring private organization - study committee could get list of communities that have formed compacts to set up waste disposal agreements (more informal version of solid waste districts) New strategy: require public transportation services to include stops at local transfer stations?
