This bill aims to make recycling and composting easier and smarter. It sets up a pilot grant program to help communities improve access to recycling. It also tells the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to collect and share better data about recycling and composting across the country, and to report on current infrastructure and where it falls short. Together, these steps are meant to reduce waste and help cities and towns plan what to build next .
