The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a $652,816 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) Grant Program (CFDA 66.920). The purpose of this 3-year award is to enable DEQ to conduct a comprehensive waste characterization study to assess the efficacy of Oklahoma's current waste diversion programs and identify new opportunities to advance a circular economy for materials and support progress towards the national recycling and food loss/waste reduction goals. Key activities include procuring a contractor to perform the study, overseeing the contractor's work, reviewing the final report, and presenting the results to stakeholders. The intended beneficiaries of this project include DEQ, other state agencies, municipalities, solid waste managers, the recycling industry, and EPA Region 6.
