Tired of tires? A plan to address tire waste in the CT River

This project seeks to address the issue of illegal tire dumping into the Connecticut River and its tributaries. This grant funds an intern to develop a policy document and outreach materials to outline policy options related to illegal tire dumping, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a mandatory product stewardship that requires producers to be responsible for their product post-consumption. Grant amount: $2,000
