Pollution Prevention Assistance (PPA)

We help thousands of small businesses keep their staff, community, and the environment safe from pollution and hazardous waste every year. Our local PPA specialists provide free, hands-on technical assistance to help you adopt best practices and address any issues you may have.

If you generate less than 220 pounds of dangerous waste per month, you’re likely a "small quantity generator" and eligible for our free assistance.

PPA specialists can help you:

  • Reduce waste and pollution at the source.
  • Understand how local dangerous waste regulations apply to you.
  • Ensure you’re ready for any chemical spills.
  • Protect vital stormwater systems.
  • Switch to safer products with financial assistance.
