State: All States
County: All Counties

Deadline: 12/12/2025

Details:
Increasing recycling reduces the environmental and social impacts of materials use and keeps valuable resources in use instead of in landfills. Municipal solid waste management has long suffered from a lack of investment. Some communities that lack waste management infrastructure do not have curbside waste collection services, recycling, or composting programs, which increases the burden on limited landfill capacity.
