nership, the financial health of the private entity 
seeking to enter into that public-private partnership.

radius of that community. 
(g) USE OF FUNDS.—An eligible entity awarded a 
grant under the pilot grant program may use the grant 
funds for projects to improve recycling accessibility in 
communities, including in underserved communities, by—
