Preparing for Federal Recycling Grants

New opportunities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including grant funding for solid waste infrastructure and education and outreach, will be available soon. The date that applications will open has not yet been announced, but you can start getting ready now. Learn what to do by visiting the new EPA web page: Prepare for a Grant Application. This site includes tips and trainings to help successfully apply for federal grants.

The website also provides instructions on how to apply for a SAM.gov identification number. All organizations applying to EPA funding opportunities must have an active SAM.gov registration. It can take more than a month to get one, so apply now.
