Benjamin who attempted to scourge the recycling movement first in 2003 with his paper \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/perc.org\/sites\/default\/files\/ps28.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eight Great Myths of Recycling<\/a>\u201d and then <a href=\"http:\/\/perc.org\/sites\/default\/files\/ps47.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">again in 2010<\/a>, seem to have been laid to rest in the past several years as many local governments across the United States have enacted mandatory recycling laws.\u00a0 Even entire states, like California and Massachusetts, have enacted mandatory programs, such as statewide commercial recycling mandates and waste bans.\u00a0 In drafting these laws the most important question seems to be what is the most effective way to enforce these laws against commercial entities.<\/p>\n<p>This question of enforcement is what Department of Public Works (\u201cDPW\u201d) <a href=\"http:\/\/brookline.wickedlocal.com\/article\/20141014\/News\/141018076\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commissioner Andrew Pappastergion saw as the fatal flaw<\/a> in a proposed local by-law that would expand Brookline\u2019s mandated recycling requirements to businesses. As proposed by Brookline resident Alan Christ, Article 10 on <a href=\"http:\/\/brooklinema.gov\/DocumentCenter\/Home\/View\/6008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the November 18, 2014 Town Meeting Warrant<\/a> \u00a0would, if adopted, require businesses to separate recyclables, just as residents are required to do.\u00a0While the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mass.gov\/eea\/agencies\/massdep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection\u2019s<\/a> \u00a0(\u201cMassDEP\u201d) waste ban prohibits disposal of banned materials, such as recyclable paper and cardboard, at Massachusetts solid waste facilities, the difference lies in who has the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.recyclingworksma.com\/waste-bans-and-compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">power to enforce these restrictions<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.recyclingworksma.com\/waste-bans-and-compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MassDEP<\/a> is charged with inspecting and regulating solid waste disposal facilities, and both the haulers and waste generators are liable for any waste ban violations. In Brookline, if Warrant Article 10 is passed, DPW would theoretically be able to fine violators directly after an initial warning.<\/p>\n<p>If the proponent\u2019s concern is that commercial entities do not comply with the state waste bans already in place, how will adding the word \u201ccommercial\u201d to the Brookline bylaws achieve this goal?\u00a0 Commissioner Pappastergion asked the same question at the Board of Selectmen hearing on October 14 during a public hearing for the article. \u00a0Without the involvement of local haulers or least an implementation plan, chance monitoring by DPW employees will be no more effective than the system already in place. \u00a0This proposal would apply to commercial properties using private haulers as well as those smaller commercial properties using the Town\u2019s waste pickup services.\u00a0 As an additional compliance obligation on commercial property owners, this type of regulation should not be adopted on an ad hoc, community-by-community basis.\u00a0 The State is the proper forum for discussion and adoption of such measures.\u00a0 Brookline Town Meeting will address this proposal on November 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gemma Ypparila &ndash; Since the mid-1990&rsquo;s, there has been an ongoing debate as to whether recycling mandates are worth the headaches caused by enforcement troubles.&nbsp; Cynics, like Professor Daniel K.
