What happens to trash when you throw it away? Managing society’s discards is a complicated business, but it’s our business. We are LCSWMA and our job is to manage the municipal trash and recyclable materials from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania homes and businesses, as well as refuse for the City of Harrisburg and surrounding Dauphin County communities. Once the waste is delivered by private haulers, LCSWMA employs a multi-step approach to trash disposal and processing, called an Integrated System. This Integrated System not only saves significant landfill capacity, it also creates clean, renewable energy (electricity). In fact, we generate enough energy to power 1 in 5 Lancaster County homes and businesses. The Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority (LCSWMA) encourages the public to respond to posts and share comments that are constructive and courteous.
