Trash

What happens after you throw your trash away? Most people don’t think twice about it.

Leaving your garbage at the curb might signal the end of the process for you, but for us, it’s only the beginning.

We invite you to learn about the incredible journey your trash takes and how it’s transformed into a resource to power our community.

Recycling

The role of recycling in the process of waste management is an important one, as it reduces our community’s consumption of raw materials and minimizes the volume of waste.

Recycling provides the opportunity to recover commodities that still have value, repurposing them into new products.

Join us and learn how recycling right in Lancaster County results in the conservation of natural resources, energy conservation, a more sustainable economy and more.
