ZERO WASTE TOOL-KIT

THE ZERO WASTE TOOL-KIT

Resources for Waste Reduction

The California Resource Recovery Association (CRRA) is working in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region Nine, to develop a "Zero Waste Tool Kit", to be used as a resource for communities interested in implementing comprehensive waste reduction and recycling plans. This website provides a link to the resources being developed as part of this project.
