SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Statewide recycling program. Requires the Department of Environmental Quality to establish a statewide program to manage used (i) motor oil, (ii) oil filters and (iii) antifreeze. The program's purpose is to encourage the environmentally sound management of these products. The Department also is to (a) maintain a list of sites that accept these used products from the public, (b) create and promote a web site to provide consumers with information on collection sites, and (c) develop an outreach education program. The bill requires those who sell motor oil, oil filters and antifreeze at the retail level and who do not accept the return of used motor oil, oil filters or antifreeze to post a sign giving consumers information as to the locations where used motor oil, oil filters and antifreeze can be returned. Any retailer who fails to post such a sign shall be subjected to a fine of $25. In addition, the bill requires the Division of Purchases and Supply to establish procurement preferences for products containing recycled oil or recycled antifreeze.
