The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) aims to develop programs and services to help prevent illness and injury, promote healthy places to live and work, provide information to help people make good health decisions, and ensure Washington state is prepared for emergencies.
Eric McConnell and Jenny Yoo from the Washington Department of Ecology will host a discussion regarding what to do with vape waste for schools, parks, and communities. Vape devices are considered hazardous waste and it is important to understand the Washington State requirements.
This webinar will be beneficial for all prevention and community health practitioners, school health and safety staff, school nurses, school resource officers, recreation staff, environmental health staff, allied health partners and community members working to prevent substance misuse.
