EPA is hosting virtual feedback sessions to provide input on new Bipartisan Infrastructure Law initiatives about end-of-life battery collection and labeling. On June 30th from 12:00 p.m.–1:30 p.m.

The webinar will feature two rural regional areas in Maine that each decided to begin a new glass collection program.

The idea of holding producers accountable for the packaging that they use is being recognized as a way that state and local governments can reduce packaging waste and increase recovery for reuse or recycling without burdening local governments with the cost of managing theses recovery programs.

The usefulness and value of finished compost depends on a feedstock that is free of contaminants, such as plastic and non-degradable service ware and bags.  Unfortunately, it is all too common to find these materials in food waste destined for composting.  This webinar, jointly hosted by NERC and NEWMOA, will address successful educational strategies and programs to avoid these contaminants.
