Summary

This bill establishes a pilot grant program at the Environmental Protection Agency to improve recycling accessibility in underserved communities through infrastructure investments. The program uses a hub-and-spoke model for recycling development.

Sec. 2, Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Program: The Administrator of the EPA must create a competitive pilot grant program within 18 months to award grants to eligible entities (states, local governments, Indian Tribes, or public-private partnerships) for improving recycling accessibility in one or more communities in the same geographic area. The goal is to fund projects that significantly improve recycling access in underserved communities using a hub-and-spoke model. Applicants must submit required information. In selecting grantees, the Administrator considers whether the community has curbside recycling, whether the project will improve access in one or multiple underserved communities, and the financial health of private partners in public-private partnerships. Priority is given to projects in communities with no more than one materials recovery facility within 75 miles. Grant funds may be used to increase transfer stations, expand curbside recycling, and leverage public-private partnerships to reduce collection and transport costs in underserved communities. Funds cannot be used for recycling education programs. Grants range from $500,000 to $15,000,000. At least 70% of funds each fiscal year must go to projects in underserved communities. The federal share is up to 90%, waivable for significant financial hardship. Within two years of the first grant, the Administrator must report to Congress on the program, including grantee list, actions taken, and recycling rate improvements. $30,000,000 is authorized per fiscal year from 2025 through 2029, with up to 5% allowed for administrative costs and technical assistance.
