Rethinking Waste for a Sustainable Future

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. We make waste work for the people we serve.
