Bill > S1189

This bill establishes the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Program, a pilot grant program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator. The program aims to improve recycling accessibility, particularly in underserved communities, through investments in infrastructure like increasing the number of transfer stations and expanding curbside recycling collection programs. The bill sets aside at least 70% of the program's funding to support projects in underserved communities and allows for public-private partnerships to reduce the costs associated with collecting and transporting recyclable materials. The bill authorizes $30 million in funding for the program each year from 2025 to 2029.
