New Website for Nebraska School Chemical Cleanout Campaign Coming Soon!
A new website is currently under development that will provide information about the new Nebraska School Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3) Program, numerous education and training resources, and a database schools can use to keep their chemical inventories. The website will be located at www.nebraskaSC3.org and should be up and running in January, 2009.
Keep Nebraska Beautiful has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to initiate the Nebraska School Chemical Cleanout Campaign. The goal is to develop and implement a school chemical management and safety program for all Nebraska schools. Schools will be assisted in cleaning out old, outdated or unneeded chemicals. For more information about the program, please contact the Keep Nebraska Beautiful office at 402.486.4562.
