Small changes make a big difference

 

The Pollution Prevention Assistance (PPA) program provides free hands-on assistance to Small Quantity Generators (usually small businesses) who want to learn how to handle their hazardous waste safely and help prevent polluting their community.


Through the PPA program, Kitsap Public Health offers free technical assistance to local small businesses to help reduce or eliminate hazardous waste. A specialist can meet with your business to evaluate procedures and practices and help solve any hazardous waste issues.

If a business makes changes based on our recommendations, we can reimburse the costs of those changes with a voucher of up to $500.
