Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the National Park Service to reduce waste and improve recycling and composting programs across America's national parks. It aims to make parks more environmentally sustainable by cutting down on trash sent to landfills and encouraging visitors and park staff to participate in waste reduction efforts. The changes would affect both the parks themselves and the millions of visitors who use them each year.
