The Minnesota Technical Assistance Program provides information on pollution prevention, reduction and waste management free of charge to Minnesota industries. The program is supported with a grant to the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, Division of Environmental and Occupational Health. Technical assistance is offered over the telephone, via on-site visits and through presentations and seminars offered throughout the year. Administered by the Government Refuse Collection and Disposal Association and the National Recycling Coalition, the program matches government officials needing assistance with their peers in government, academia or solid waste management. The program currently provides technical assistance for a variety of waste management issues including planning, implementation mechanisms, source reduction and institutional approaches.
Assistance includes referrals and library resources.
