New laws require all businesses, healthcare facilities, and academic institutions to separate recyclables from general waste. Compliance deadlines:
- March 31, 2025: Businesses with 10+ full-time employees must separate dry recyclables and food waste.
- March 31, 2027: Businesses with fewer than 10 employees must comply.
- April 2027: All businesses must collect flexible plastic packaging.
Failure to comply can result in fines and regulatory actions. Proper recycling reduces landfill waste, cuts costs, conserves resources, and helps the environment.
