A bill to authorize each State and certain political subdivisions of States to control the movement of municipal solid waste generated within, or imported into, the State or political subdivisions of the State, and for other purposes.
Municipal Solid Waste Flow Control Act of 1993 - Authorizes a State or a political subdivision to which a State has delegated authority, if conditions under this Act are met, to: (1) direct, limit, regulate, or prohibit the movement of municipal solid waste generated or imported within its boundaries; and (2) designate waste management facilities to which such waste shall be transported. Permits States or political subdivisions to exercise such authorities only if: (1) recyclable materials will be removed from the waste through separation at the source or at facilities unless the political subdivision in which the waste is generated is exempt from recycling requirements; and (2) the designated waste management facilities are not in violation of Federal and State environmental laws and regulations.
Bars States or political subdivisions from prohibiting persons from selling, conveying, or arranging for the transportation of recyclable materials that have been separated from municipal solid waste.
