NWRPC Produces Video that Discusses Dangers of Improper Disposal of Hazardous & Electronic Waste

NWRPC has produced an educational video on the effects of household hazardous and electronic waste to the Lake Superior Basin.

The goal of this video is to help educate and explain what constitutes household hazardous waste, how to dispose of it safely, and the effect it has on water supplies and Lake Superior if it’s not disposed of properly. This production was funded by a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) grant award.
