AI Summary
This bill, called the Recycling Enhancements to Collection and Yield through Consumer Learning and Education (RECYCLE) Act of 2021, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a consumer recycling education and outreach grant program. The program will award grants to eligible entities, such as states, local governments, and non-profits, to improve the effectiveness of residential and community recycling programs through public education and outreach. The bill also amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to require the EPA to review and revise procurement guidelines for federally purchased recycled products every 5 years. Additionally, the bill authorizes $15 million annually for the EPA to carry out the grant program and related activities, with at least 10% of the funds allocated to low-income communities.
