EPA grant set to bring recycling transformation to Northern Shenandoah

cleaner VA
PHILADELPHIA (May 13, 2023) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz presented the
Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission with a $3.9 million Solid Waste
Infrastructure for Recycling grant for new and expanded recycling
infrastructure during a ceremony in Winchester, Virginia.
Joined by state and local officials, the EPA celebrated awarding the grant
that will help re-establish curbside recycling, upgrade tire grinding
operations, and purchase upgraded recycling receptacles, which will have an
immediate impact on the region, including rural underserved communities that
don’t have easy access to recycling services, in support of the agency’s
commitment to advancing sustainability initiatives. 
“The Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda is tackling
environmental challenges across our nation, and this is another historic
investment to address waste management issues in our local communities,” said
EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz. “We’re proud to deliver
these critical resources provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to
support recycling initiatives and environmental stewardship to build a more
resilient, sustainable and cleaner future for the Northern Shenandoah
Valley.” 
The NSVRC was one of 25 community organizations selected for the SWIFR grant.
This grant will support NSVRC’s plans for transforming recycling services to
include:
Approximately 10,000 curbside recycling containers
63 recycling containers at convenience centers, landfills and other sites
Diverting more than 750 tons of tires from landfills
“We are honored to receive nearly $4 million in competitive funding from the
EPA to enhance recycling infrastructure in the Northern Shenandoah Valley,”
said Dennis Morris, Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission chairman.
“This award will be instrumental in upgrading our recycling facilities,
meeting the goals of our solid waste management plan, and fostering
sustainable waste management practices through collaborative efforts.”
The EPA announced more than $100 million from President Biden’s Investing in
America agenda in September 2023 to expand recycling infrastructure and waste
management systems across the country.
This funding is part of the EPA’s most significant recycling investment in
30 years, thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The SWIFR grant also
supports the agency’s National Recycling Strategy by enabling a “circular
economy” to keep materials and products in use longer.

for Recycling grant program.
