Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Introduced March 14, 2025 by Mariannette Miller-Meeks · Last progress March 14, 2025
Creates a new EPA pilot grant program to build and improve recycling systems so more people—especially in underserved communities—can access recycling. The program will award competitive grants between $500,000 and $15,000,000, with the federal government covering up to 90% of project costs.
At least 70% of yearly funds must go to projects in underserved communities. The EPA must launch the program within 18 months of the law taking effect. Funds cannot be used for recycling education. The bill authorizes $30 million per year from fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
