Hazardous Waste Guides for Businesses in New Hampshire and Vermont - Grant
NERC worked on a USDA Rural Utilities Service-funded project to create a directory of hazardous waste collection and recycling programs for businesses in each, New Hampshire and Vermont. These Guides are a quick reference for businesses to better understand the options available to them for disposing of their hazardous waste and the tools that they will need to get them started. In addition to a list of the towns that include businesses in their hazardous waste collections, the Guides include the information businesses when preparing to use a municipal hazardous waste collection programs. The Guides were updated in 2006 and are available on NERC's website at:
