LCSWMA manages the trash and recyclable materials from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania homes and businesses, as well as trash from the City of Harrisburg and surrounding Dauphin County communities. Once private haulers deliver the waste, we employ a multi-step approach to disposal and processing, called an Integrated System. This system not only saves significant landfill capacity, but it also creates clean, renewable energy.
Most people forget about their trash once it’s thrown away. They believe the material is taken to a landfill, where it’s buried and forgotten. In many communities, that might be true. But in Lancaster and Dauphin Counties, LCSWMA views waste as a resource to make great things happen.
LCSWMA’s Waste-to-Energy (WTE) process transforms non-recyclable waste into renewable electricity. At our WTE facilities, waste is safely combusted at high temperatures, creating steam that drives turbines and produces enough electricity to power the equivalent of 1 in 5 area homes. This process significantly reduces landfill use, conserves natural resources, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a key part of our mission to turn waste into a valuable community resource.
It Takes All of UsEveryone Plays a Part
We are all part of the waste ecosystem, everyone, from everyday people to industry experts, to wildlife. Understanding how it all connects empowers us to reduce impact, protect the environment, and do our part to manage waste as a resource.
