Recycling has become a cornerstone program for the LWA. As the
caretakers of the Ligonier Valley Recycling program, LWA oversees the
recycling of paper, plastics, glass and aluminum each and every day,
as well as newspaper, magazines, and plastic bags. Seasonal Christmas
Tree Recycling takes place in January. In addition, LWA coordinates a
unique household electronics program, recently awarded the "2005
Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence" by Department of
Environmental Protection Secretary, Kathleen McGinty.
