This bill reauthorizes the Environmental Protection Agency's Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grant Program, which provides federal funding to support recycling infrastructure projects across the country. The legislation extends and increases the program's budget by allocating $65 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2035, building on the program's existing authorization that currently runs through 2025. The grant program primarily benefits state and local governments, waste management facilities, and recycling organizations that apply for federal support to improve their recycling capabilities and infrastructure. By extending funding through 2035, the bill provides long-term certainty for communities planning recycling investments and modernization projects. The bill was introduced in April 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
