Plan Unveiled To Reduce Solid Waste Disposal In Massachusetts

WAMC

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has issueda 10-year plan to reduce solid waste disposal.

Over the next two months, public comment is being sought on the draft plan.

For reaction to the plan, WAMC’s Paul Tuthill spoke with Janet Domenitz, executive director of the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MassPIRG).         

A public hearing on the DEP’s Solid Waste Disposal master plan will be held in Springfield on Tuesday, Nov. 12.  It takes place at the Sixteen Acres Library beginning at 5 p.m.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
