DALLAS - In conjunction with America Recycles Day, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana will receive $565,000 in Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling grants for Tribes and Intertribal Consortia to expand recycling infrastructure.
A key pillar of the president's Bidenomics, these grants will expand education for waste management systems across Louisiana.
The President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law "unleashed unprecedented funding to enable Tribes and communities to update recycling and composting infrastructure," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan, "while also advancing education programs to increase recycling rates and reduce waste.”
“The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana maintains a robust list of services for its small but strong community. With this grant, its recycling facility will be able to serve even more of the surrounding area and contribute to a more sustainable future for the Tribe,” said Regional Administrator Dr. Earthea Nance.
The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana’s grant will go toward increasing recycling collection and improving materials management infrastructure by expanding the Tribe’s recycling program. By repairing existing storage facilities and developing a new recycling center, the recycling drop-off.
