Pilot programs allow <br />flexible operating requirements and customized redemption programs designed to meet a <br />region’s unique needs. The CalRecycle Pilot Project Grant Program is designed to assist <br />jurisdictions that lack CRV beverage container recycling opportunities for their residents. <br />The goals of the Pilot Project Grant Program are: <br />• Improving redemption opportunities in underserved areas. <br />• Allowing local governments and private industry to work together, to create new, <br />convenient, and innovative recycling opportunities that work in their region or area. <br />• Increasing consumer redemption access. <br />• Increasing recycling percentages in pilot program areas. <br /> <br />22 Liza Tucker, “Waste Haulers: The Square Peg in the Circular Economy ,” Consumer Watchdog, May 2021.
