The waste we collect from our customers is used to create clean, green energy, fueling local waste to energy sites to support a better future. Our recycling facility processes more than 81,000 tons of materials each year, preserving our environment and our community for future generations.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Penn Waste, being a locally owned and operated company, has developed a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and local non-profit organizations. The success of non-profit organizations and the programs they provide are crucial to the future of South CentralPA.

Organizations such as the United Way, Crispus Attucks, Junior Achievement and Central Pennsylvania Food Bank are just a few of the organizations that Penn Waste supports.

Penn Waste has been a major supporter of the innovative wet lab that York College has built at their J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurs.

Educating Our Children

Educating the youngest members of our community about the impact of recycling is an important part of our commitment to the
communities we serve. Penny and our educational team enjoy visiting with students in the areas we service to help spread the message about recycling.

Proud Member of the Buy Local Coalition & Lancaster Chamber’s Think Local program

As a proud partner in the South CentralPA’s Buy Local Coalition and a member of the Lancaster Chamber’s Think Local program, we are committed to educating the public about the benefits of supporting and patronizing local businesses, and are dedicated to using local vendors whenever possible.

Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future, with a greater sense of corporate social responsibility.
In addition, local businesses are the largest employers in our community. Nearly 90% of all Americans are employed by local businesses.
