The EPA WASTEWI$E PROGRAM 


WASTE
WI$E




Brought to you by The EPA and The ULS Report



The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has asked The ULS Report to help  distribute information about the WasteWi$e program. WasteWi$e is a voluntary partnership between the EPA and businesses, designed to reduce municipal solid waste. The 

focus is on:



    

  1. waste prevention,

  2. recycling collection and 

  3. buying or manufacturing recycled products.
    





We are providing this information in two forms: ASCII text and PDF, or portable data format. PDF is a way for different computing platforms (PC, MAC, Unix) to share the same files. PDF files are snapshots of documents, kind of like GIF or JPEG visuals. It
's as if your computer printed an electronic sheet of paper on your screen. 



By downloading and reading the PDF files, you'll be able to see the documents on-screen exactly as they appear in print. You'll also be able to print a copy, should you need to do so. 


To read a PDF file you'll need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. It's free! If your browser isn't download-capable, you can also get it directly from ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/Acrobat. 


Note to Mac users: PDF files will be downloaded as binary files. To open them, drop the file onto the Acrobat icon. If you attempt to open by clicking on them, you may get ASCII gibberish.
