In March 2026, the ASTSWMO Board of Directors approved an update to the ASTSWMO recycling position paper issued in 2020. The ASTSWMO 2026 Recycling Position Paper supports sustained funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Solid Waste Infrastructure and Recycling (SWIFR) and Consumer Recycling and Education Outreach (REO) grant programs. These grant programs address major needs that ASTSWMO identified in the 2020 position paper by supporting activities to improve the infrastructure for recycling, data collection, implementation of State-led plans to advance post-consumer materials management, and recycling education and outreach.
