ATTENTION FARMERS AND OTHER PESTICIDE APPLICATORS!
During the winter, it's a great time to think about cleaning out our pesticide storages and take inventory. If you have canceled, suspended, or unwanted pesticides, you can schedule disposal through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture CHEMSWEEP Program. CHEMSWEEP provides Pennsylvania farmers and other licensed pesticide applicators with a means to dispose of canceled, suspended or unwanted pesticide products. This program runs until March 31st.

YCSWA staff were honored to educate close to 52,000 individuals through direct programming in 2024. We hosted tours of our waste-to-energy facility as well as the closed landfill at Hopewell Area Recreation Complex. Staff also visited civic and school groups to present information on reducing waste and how to be responsible with trash disposal in order to keep York County clean and safe for everyone.
It is always our pleasure to serve the public through direct programming. If you are interested in scheduling a tour or a program, visit www.ycswa.com/resources/.
