EPA has money and wants you to know about it.  Come to learn about how and when to apply and what an impact our funding can mean for you and how our federal program can benefit the local solid waste programs. Learn about the federal grants available to local municipalities and others. This funding is available through a competitive application process through grants.gov. You may have heard about some of these impacts collectively driving the national federal program. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the National Recycling Strategy, and the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act are particularly important to today’s conversation. They provide funding, a framework, and establish new programs.  I will be talking about what has been happening  as a result of these impacts and what the changes will look like to the program in the future, starting with the new grants under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and then the strategies under the Circular Economy Strategy Series.  All which feed a 10 year vision that embraces circularity, sustainable materials management and addresses climate change and environmental justice.
