WORKING FOR KENTUCKY

 
Funds that the Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center (KPPC) receives from the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection's (KDEP) Hazardous Waste Management Fund and grants from outside sources finance KPPC's many pollution prevention and energy efficiency services to Kentucky's businesses, industries, state government agencies and communities. To date, the Center has provided free, nonregulatory waste assessments to nearly 500 Kentucky businesses with total savings reaching nearly $6 million. This averages to about $12,000 in savings for each company.
