The GreenWrench Technical Assistance Program (GreenWrench) provides free pollution prevention guidance and training to District of Columbia automotive mechanics and auto body shops.
There are four ways shops can choose to be involved in the GreenWrench program, and they can sign up for as many or as few ways as they would like. The program’s goal is to provide businesses with compliance assistance for environmental regulations, protect the environment and improve its participants’ bottom lines.
DOEE offers four ways to participate in GreenWrench:

Newsletter — Find tips and tricks for reducing pollution, as well as new technologies and case studies on local shops in the GreenWrench Toolbox newsletter.
