Priority Materials from Used Consumer Products - A Survey for Oklahoma Municipalities

Thank you for taking this brief survey. The Product Stewardship Institute is working with Oklahoma state and local government agencies to conduct this state-wide survey. In Product Stewardship programs, private companies (manufacturers, retailers or business associations) manage/finance the collection and recycling of certain used consumer products (such as electronics or rechargeable batteries). These systems are different from traditional waste management because the funding of these programs does not come from state or local governments.

The survey attempts to understand how Oklahoma communities currently manage specific waste streams, as well as identify challenges in managing specific waste streams, and what product stewardship programs might be available in your community.

This question requires a valid number format.
