Under a USEPA grant, the Research
Foundation for Health and Environmental Effects (RFHEE) will
conduct a survey of household waste disposal options. In
conjunction with the Rural Community Assistance Program and the
National Volunteer Fire Council, RFHEE will develop a targeted
survey of approximately 40 questions to find successful methods of
household trash disposal in rural areas besides burning, which
releases toxics chemicals into the environment. The survey will not
take longer than 20 minutes to complete. The Partners will conduct
telephone interviews with 50 state, local, or tribal officials who
have trash burning bans....
