In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), and in conjunction with The Great Pennsylvania Clean Up, the York County Solid Waste Authority is offering a FREE litter disposal program March 29 through May 31, 2008.  York County organizations, civic groups, schools and neighborhoods that want to clean up litter can dispose of it free of charge at the York County Resource Recovery Center .  Groups must pre-register for the event by calling Jen Cristofoletti at the Solid Waste Authority at 717-845-1066.

Participants will be asked to provide information regarding the type of organization, contact person, phone, address and location of area to be cleaned.  Once registered, groups will receive guidelines for participation and a vehicle dashboard placard that will enable them to enter the Resource Recovery Center to deliver litter.  

Recyclable materials MUST be separated from the litter and recycled.  Participants can take recyclable materials to any recycle drop-off center of their choice.  A recycle drop-off center is located across from the Resource Recovery Center and can accommodate the following items: plastic (#’s 1 -7); steel, bi-metal and aluminum cans; newsprint; dry cardboard and paperboard; and unbroken clear and colored glass.

The litter disposal program is a great way for community and civic groups to participate in an event that honors our planet and cleans up our community.
