Received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

It summarizes facts about recycling, highlights benefits, and urges increased participation. It does not create binding law or require action; it is a formal statement intended to raise awareness.
Concurrent resolutions must be approved by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law.
This concurrent resolution expresses Congress’s support for the goal and mission of America Recycles Day and encourages Americans to promote recycling and buy recycled-content products.
