Saving the World Begins at Home - A Personal Guide to Managing Household Waste

Municipalities are continuously challenged to make room for this tremendous amount of waste, some of it coming from commercial and construction activity, but much of it coming from our homes. This booklet will help you make better decisions about what you buy and how you dispose of it.
