CONCORD — The theme during a day-long session of the House Environment and Agriculture Committee on Tuesday was solid waste and ways to reduce the amount of trash heading to New Hampshire’s landfills.

Members heard testimony on bills ranging from prohibiting the issuance of new landfill permits to the recycling of beverage containers. Testimony was overwhelmingly in favor of the proposed bills, with some expected pushback from industry lobbyists and questions about implementation from the state Department of Environmental Services.
