The program is central to Florida’s statewide network for household hazardous waste management, aiming to improve public awareness, reduce hazardous product use, and ensure responsible waste handling across all counties. Funding may be used for constructing new collection centers or expanding existing facilities, with an emphasis on cooperative and innovative projects, especially in smaller counties.
