Laura B - Citizens generate household hazardous wastes year round but HHW collection programs are often scheduled just a few times a year. Over the past few years several options have been created that HHW programs can use to help fill in the gaps between collection events, either by referring citizens to collection sites or hosting a collection box at their facility.
Join US EPA Region 5 and the Product Stewardship Institute for an informational webinar on product stewardship programs that citizens can use year round to manage their waste electronics, CFL bulbs, rechargeable batteries, or mercury thermostats. During this webinar attendees will hear from representatives of several established national programs that are offering collection opportunities today. Invited speakers include representatives from US EPA's Plug-in to eCycling program, Home Depot, Lowes, the Thermostat Recycling Corporation and Call2Recycle.
