Bill overview
This bill aims to change how New Jersey regulates scrap metal facilities. Currently, these facilities are primarily overseen under different regulations. This legislation would require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to treat scrap metal facilities as recycling facilities, bringing them under the same environmental standards and oversight as traditional recycling operations. The goal is to improve accountability and ensure these facilities are managing materials responsibly and minimizing environmental impact.
