Macalester-Groveland Seniors Block Nurse Program
The Macalester Groveland Seniors Program educated over 46,710 seniors and neighborhood residents about reducing junk mail and properly disposing of household hazardous waste. 710 seniors or residents were directly involved in waste reduction activities by either attending a training session or workshop, opting out of junk mail or identifying and/or removing hazardous waste from their homes and replacing these products with a bottle of non-toxic cleaner by working with trained volunteers that conducted 50 one hour home visits. The Macalester Groveland Seniors office also now hosts a waste and toxicity reduction resource room open to the public.
