Hopewell Area Recreation Complex

You wonder if something can be recycled and you are not entirely sure that it can be recycled but you throw it into your recycling bin anyway…that is called WISH-CYCLING. We know you have the best intentions, but when unrecyclable items are taken to the recycling facility, they may cause safety issues for the facility workers if they get caught in a machine. Ultimately, this material is put in the trash and sent to YCSWA’s waste-to-energy facility, the York County Resource Recovery Center.

Wish-cycling does not work for York County. Help out by learning more at www.PennWaste.com or www.ycswa.com.
