What this bill would do

This bill establishes the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Program through the Environmental Protection Agency. Under this program, the Administrator will award competitive grants to states, local governments, Indian Tribes, and public-private partnerships. The main goal is to improve recycling infrastructure and accessibility in underserved communities using a hub-and-spoke model. Grant amounts will range from $500,000 to $15,000,000, with at least 70 percent of funds set aside specifically for underserved communities. The bill authorizes $30,000,000 annually for these grants from fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
