Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grant Program Reauthorization Act

# Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grant Program Reauthorization Act (HR 5846) **What the Bill Does** This bill would reauthorize a federal grant program that provides funding to states and communities for building and improving recycling infrastructure—the facilities and systems needed to collect, sort, and process recyclable materials. By reauthorizing the program, the bill extends its funding and allows it to continue operating beyond its current expiration date. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects state and local governments, recycling facilities, and waste management companies that would be eligible to receive grants.

Indirectly, it impacts everyday Americans who rely on recycling programs in their communities. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (HR 5846) is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full House vote. The bill was sponsored by Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-NY-13).
