Description:
The Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment (PPOA) summarized here was conducted at a U.S.Postal Service (USPS) Facility in Buffalo, NY. The PPOA documented and quantified waste generation at the General Mail Facility (GMF) where mail is processed, and at the Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF), where 1,200 postal vehicles are services and refinished. The report identified potential source reduction and recycling initiatives, as well as areas where further research is needed. The economic and technical feasibility of selected opportunities and techniques to eliminate, reduce, or recycle wastes were investigated. A limited implementation plan was developed.
