Massachusetts solid waste is regulated by MassDEP under the most aggressive waste ban framework in the United States. The state operates only 7 active landfills statewide — the lowest per-capita capacity in the nation. Disposal volume routes through 12 waste-to-energy incinerators and 30+ Materials Recovery Facilities. We coordinate routing through this specialized infrastructure on every project.

Required routing for cardboard, metal, paper, and other recyclables banned from disposal. We coordinate routing through certified MRFs for any project producing material covered by the waste bans.
Mattress & Textile Recovery
Required since November 2022 · Specialized recovery channels
Mattresses and textiles are banned from disposal in MA. We route mattress disposal through certified mattress recyclers and textile material through textile recovery channels. Multifamily and hospitality projects often require coordinated mattress diversion documentation.
Commercial Food Material Diversion
Required for food-generating businesses · MassDEP regulation
The Commercial Food Material Disposal Ban requires food-generating businesses to divert organic waste from disposal. For hospitality, retail food service, and corporate cafeteria projects, we coordinate routing through composting and anaerobic digestion partners.
