Creates a new program to boost recycling in communities that lack easy access.
This bill would create a new grant program to help communities improve their recycling services. It would set aside money for states, local governments, and other groups to build more recycling centers and expand curbside pickup, especially in areas that don't have good access now.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program focused on helping communities build recycling infrastructure, especially in areas that lack good access. If this bill becomes law, the Environmental Protection Agency would create a new competitive grant program. This program would set aside $30,000,000 each year from the government's budget year 2025 to 2029 to fund projects that improve recycling accessibility, with at least 70% of that money going to underserved communities.
