New reports would help improve recycling and composting programs across the country.
This bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to gather detailed information on current recycling and composting efforts, facilities, and challenges. It also sets aside $4 million each year for five years to pay for these efforts. The goal is to better understand and strengthen these important environmental programs.
Right now, there isn't a federal requirement for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to collect detailed, nationwide information on recycling and composting programs, facilities, or how much recycled material is sold. The Comptroller General also doesn't regularly report on how federal agencies recycle or what recycled products they buy. If this bill becomes law, the EPA would be required to gather this detailed information through studies, inventories, and reports. The Comptroller General would also start regularly reporting on federal agency recycling efforts. The bill would also set aside $4,000,000 each year for five years to fund these new EPA activities.
