STOP POLLUTION WHERE IT STARTS

Proper disposal of hazardous waste protects human health AND the environment, and prevents costly, tax-funded cleanups. Although the Clean Shop Program as a cost-effective, easily accessible method for disposal, pollution prevention and waste reduction provide better prevention of toxic polluting.

The Regional Clean Shop Program is set up to help businesses and non-profit organizations dispose of small amounts of hazardous waste which they produce. This program gives businesses easy access to a cost-effective means of disposal, thereby avoiding potential environmental, financial, and health and safety problems.

COSTS TO PARTICIPANTS
The Clean Shop Program offers a cost-effective method to dispose of hazardous wastes. Only minimum disposal costs will be charged to businesses depending on the type and amount of waste to be disposed. A current price list is available from the Clean Shop Program manager.
