Maine to shift recycling costs to large producers of goods

Not a lot of detail in that article. This one has some more: https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/tech/science/97-a972... and the scheme is called EPR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_producer_responsibili...

>The law says that if the producer creates less than one ton of waste per year, or makes under $2 million in gross revenue per year, they would be exempt.

That might boost local business in Maine, but I'm not so sure it would in bigger States.

They seem confident it'll bring in enough excess money to lower property taxes and pour into roads, which seems very optimistic.
