Federal Recycling legislation is necessary to improve recycling infrastructure and reduce contamination Apr 06, 2021
Silver Spring, MD – The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) is proud to support the bipartisan Realizing the Economic Opportunities and Values of Expanding Recycling (RECOVER) Act introduced by United States Representatives Tony Cárdenas (D-CA) and Larry Bucshon (R-IN). This important and timely legislation will allow communities across the United States to improve recycling through infrastructure upgrades and community outreach. “SWANA is pleased to support the RECOVER Act again, and there is growing interest on both sides of the aisle in addressing recycling this year in Congress. Providing funding to local governments and others to support municipal recycling programs is essential,” stated David Biderman, SWANA’s Executive Director and CEO.
