Lawmaker proposes deposit on all hazardous materials
Iowa legislator State Rep. Davie Osterberg says a drafted bill would add deposits on any item ending its life as hazardous material, with funds funding regular toxic cleanup. He compares to the liquor and soft drink can program and envisions stamps or stickers on products to inform consumers. EPA has funded pilot trash collections in Dubuque and Linn County, but officials warn the $38,000 may not cover ongoing costs. Osterberg seeks legislative supplemental support and a permanent funding mechanism.
