ARCHS' 2009 Tox-Away Day

In 2007, ARCHS was awarded a $100,000 grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help area residents and small business owners learn how to safely dispose of hazardous waste items.
The EPA Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) grant funds ARCHS St. Louis Area Communities Against Toxics (SLACAT) Community Partnership that focuses on safe ways to dispose of household and small business toxics (paint, lawn/garden chemicals, and more). SLACAT addresses air/water quality, lead and indoor mold issues to reduce risk exposures. The grant promotes local problem solving initiatives that can be replicated across the country.
