NEWMOA developed a series of handouts targeted to residents using rural transfer stations. The handouts promote waste reduction practices, including, reuse and recycling, and properly disposing of problem items.

The following handouts provide general information for consumers about waste reduction and recycling:

• Reducing Your Waste
• Recycle Right!

For some of the handouts, NEWMOA created customized versions for each partner, as well as fillable form versions that other communities can edit and distribute:

• WHY Recycle (fillable form version)
• WHY Recycle...in the North Country of New Hampshire [PDF]
• WHY Recycle...in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont [PDF]
• Benefits of Reuse (fillable form version)
• Benefits of Reuse...in the North Country of New Hampshire [PDF]
• Benefits of Reuse...in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont [PDF]
• Don't Trash That! (fillable form version)
• Don't Trash That...in the North Country of New Hampshire [PDF]
• Don't Trash That...in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont [PDF]

Note: You will need Adobe Reader  Version 8 or newer to edit these forms. Hold your mouse over the shaded areas and click to enter text. Be sure to save the form on your computer as a PDF before editing the document.

NEWMOA also developed accompanying educational posters, to be displayed at transfer stations to further communicate these messages to residents. The 11x17 versions were lamintaed and distributed to all facilities in the North Country of New Hampshire. The NEKWMD in Vermont preferred 24x36 A-frame posters that could fit on sandwich boards and be rotated among their individual transfer stations on a regular basis.
