Chapter NR 187 - Household hazardous waste grant program
Section NR 187.01 - Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to establish the criteria necessary to implement the household hazardous waste grant program under s. 93.57, Stats. Through this program, financial assistance will be made available to municipalities to create and operate local "clean sweep" programs for the collection and disposal of household hazardous waste. These programs are intended to divert such wastes away from municipal landfills, sewers and septic systems and to provide for the management of household hazardous waste in a licensed hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
