With the fall season also comes the annual charity golf tournament hosted by the Wayne Township Landfill, which is owned and operated by the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority. The tournament was named in memory of John B. Hoy, Jr. who was a long time member of the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority Board of Directors, and was instrumental in making the tournament a reality.

This year’s tournament raised $7,100 which was donated to the Clinton County 4-H Endowment Fund and the Lock Haven Rotary Club – Children in Distress Program. Overall, the tournament has raised over $48,000 for charitable organizations within Clinton County.

Wayne Township Landfill Redevelopment

Planning for the future of Clinton County’s solid waste needs is a large part of what the Solid Waste Authority works towards on a daily basis.  Trying to accomplish this, while being competitive in the solid waste industry, is a difficult task. We are currently working on a plan to redevelop our closed landfill located within our current property boundary in Wayne Township.  

The project will entail removing the trash from the unlined landfill and installing a state of the art liner system, similar to what has been constructed for our active landfill.  Redevelopment of the closed landfill will create approximately 30 more years of disposal capacity to meet the area’s solid waste needs. We submitted a permit modification application to the PaDEP on November 30, 2007.  The PaDEP approved the Environmental Assessment on November 25, 2009.  The Department has now started the technical review phase of the project. If everything goes as planned, the Authority should receive the requested permit by the fall of 2010.

We will keep the community updated as we progress in our mission to continue to be the long-term economical solution to the area’s waste needs. Throughout this process, and in our everyday operations, we will stick to our motto:

Innovative. Responsible. Committed to You.
 

Commercial Recycling

The Authority has developed a flexible and cost effective recycling program to meet the needs of commercial and institutional establishments within the county. These types of establishments located within the City of Lock Haven are required by state law and city ordinance to recycle, at a minimum, high-grade office paper, corrugated cardboard, aluminum, clear/colored glass and steel/bi-metal cans. The Authority can help design a recycling program to satisfy these requirements.

If you have questions regarding any of our recycling programs please feel free to contact us.

Convenience of Curbside Recycling

Have you considered the convenience of curbside recycling? The Solid Waste Authority will stop by your home every two (2) weeks and pick up your recyclables for a nominal annual fee of $30 ($2.50 per month). Recycling should help to reduce your garbage bill and minimize those trips to the county recycling drop-off sites.  We have curbside collection programs in Flemington, Mill Hall, Avis, Woolrich, Dunnstown, Castanea, McElhattan, Beech Creek and Renovo. We are currently under contract with the City of Lock Haven to provide this service to all city residents. If you are a resident of the City, please call 893-5900 for details.

When you subscribe to this convenient service you will be given a box to place your recyclables in. You will also be given information on the materials we collect and directions on how to prepare the materials for recycling. The materials we collect include: aluminum & tin cans, clear/brown/green glass bottles & jars, newspaper, magazines, junk mail, and No. 1 & No. 2 plastic bottles. All of the materials can be placed in the box as noted in the directions. It is that simple. Please feel free to call us with any questions you may have.

What Plastics Can Be Recycled?

The Solid Waste Authority would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the plastic material we collect for recycling. Our recycling program only accepts plastic bottles and jugs which are coded either No. 1 or No. 2. Examples include: milk jugs, water bottles, soda bottles, and laundry and dish soap bottles.

We do not have the capabilities to process the following plastic items:  margarine tubs, yogurt containers, plastic toys, motor oil bottles, TV dinner dishes, etc.  This list could go on and on. Please remember if it is not a No. 1 or No. 2 bottle or jug it does not belong in the recycling container. 

If you have questions or concerns about recycling plastic bottles and jugs, please feel free to give us a call. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for recycling.
