Workshops On Enhancing Waste Services, Improving Quality Of Life Set

The Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania, with support from and in cooperation with the U.S.D.A., is offering free workshops providing rural municipalities with a better understanding of their solid waste management responsibilities and how they might address them.

The workshops will be held:

-- emphasize the connections between clean, attractive communities and sound waste management practices;

-- enhance traditional recycling and composting efforts;

-- expand special waste recoveries (including yard, food, and Ag waste);

-- encourage mandatory waste collection;

-- address improper disposal practices including open burning, littering, and illegal dumping;

-- build partnerships and better communication with private sector service providers;

-- encourage intermunicipal cooperation and multi-municipal programs to improve efficiency; and

-- assist rural municipalities in better evaluating their programs with the ultimate goal of increasing recycling diversions and efficiencies.
