Evidence

Congress.gov shows S.3742, the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act of 2022, passed the Senate on 2022-07-28 and the bill page lists Amendments (0). The summary says it would direct EPA to establish a pilot grant program for improving recycling accessibility in communities.

The underlying recycling bill advanced in 2022, but the official bill page shows no amendments on the Senate bill. This is indirect only and does not show Palmer taking up the requested amendment, so the commitment remains unresolved.

Palmer's Congress.gov member page does not surface any recycling- or composting-related entries: searches for "recycling", "compost", "recycling infrastructure", and "Accessibility Act" return no matches on the page, and the visible current 119th Congress items are unrelated bills and roll-call votes.

The official member page provides weak negative evidence that Palmer has not publicly logged recycling/composting amendment activity in Congress.gov. That still leaves the claim unresolved rather than delivered or clearly failed.

Assessments

never unknown

The available official congressional evidence does not show Gary Palmer taking up the Recycling and Composting Accountability Act as an amendment to the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act. Congress.gov indicates S.3742 passed the Senate on July 28, 2022 with zero listed amendments, and Palmer’s member page does not show related sponsorship, amendment activity, or other material advancement tied to this specific promise. Because the promised action was specific and the legislative record provided does not show it occurred, the best judgment is that it was not delivered. There is also no evidence here of a serious but unsuccessful Palmer-led attempt, so no effort badge is warranted.
