Description | Reuse centers are an excellent way to reduce costs for Moderate Risk Waste (MRW) facilities and foster practices that are good for the environment. They minimize waste by giving hazardous materials a second life. When people learn they can get leftover hazardous materials for free, they’re more likely to drop off their unwanted materials at the same location. This increases proper disposal and reuse, leading to less waste. A well-run reuse center, paired with effective public education, can keep hazardous waste off the tipping floor, ensure proper handling by trained staff, and create reuse opportunities. | ||||
