A
Collection of Solid Waste Resources on CD-ROM
2004 Edition
The
EPA's Office of Solid Waste has released its 2004 Edition of "A Collection
of Solid Waste Resources" CD ROM. It contains more than 300 publications
on hazardous and nonhazardous waste. The documents are searchable, listed
alphabetically by topic, and many are in Spanish. The publications cover
many topics, including recycling and reuse, buying recycled, hazardous
waste management, composting, and used motor oil. The CD includes a wide
variety of educational materials for youth, as well as the winning poster
from OSW's Earth Day Art Contest for grades K-6. The CD cover was designed
by the winner of the contest for grades 7-12.
The CD also contains information
about the Resource
Conservation Challenge (RCC), an innovative national effort to find
flexible, yet protective, ways to conserve the nation's resources. Descriptions
of the major voluntary partnerships that are part of the RCC are included.
The CD can be used on any IBM
compatible computer with Windows 3.x or higher.
