Electronic Newsletters
Welcome to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality's
Recycling and Litter Prevention Program Electronic Newsletters Page.
Editor's Note:
The Litter Picks and Recycling Lines newsletters were first published in January 2005. These newsletters seek to introduce Litter Prevention and Recycling Managers throughout the Commonwealth to information from across the USA that may not be readily accessable to their programs, and also to serve as a forum for them to share what is going on in their communities.
We encourage Recycling and Litter Prevention Managers to share their comments, ideas, programs and stories. Please contact Steve Coe at (804) 698-4029 or gscoe@deq.virginia.gov or Sheila Barnett at (804) 698-4055 or smbarnett@deq.virginia.gov
Links to the Recycling and Litter Prevention Programs' Informational Newsletters are provided below.
