Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management meeting
September 15, 2026, 10:00 AM
The Sanitation Committee holds an oversight hearing on turning waste into usable materials (waste valorization and the circular economy), paired with three measures. A bill would expand street cleaning and litter basket service in nightlife districts (Int 0970-2026). Two resolutions back community composting on parkland (Res 0122-2026) and urge the state to expand the returnable bottle deposit law (Res 0362-2026, backing S.237-B).
