Chemical Disposal Made
Easy:
In April of 2009 the NYSDEC
offered cost-efficient chemical disposals in the Capital
Region. Capital Region BOCES Health, Safety and Risk
Management assisted many school districts with the disposal
process and every school that participated found the program
to be a huge success. NYSDEC hopes to offer the same program
in the Saratoga region in the year ahead. We'll let
you know as soon as more details are available, but in the
meantime if you want to know how CleanSweepNY works, click
