In an effort to examine the state of recycling in New Hampshire, legislators have compiled a new report that details underlying policy and infrastructure challenges in the state.
Waste Dive, which conducted a “top to bottom” review of the 27-page report, notes that an “overarching theme is that New Hampshire’s waste management lags other states, especially its neighbors, and more should be done to help municipalities with their programs. Chronic underfunding for the state’s Department of Environmental Services (DES) due to budget cuts is a recurring theme.”
