Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority--GLRA discusses Recycling in Lebanon PA

On May 7, 2009, per Act 101, Executive Director Michael Pavelek and Engineer Larry Taylor presented the commissioners with an agreement to appoint the Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority as Lebanon Countys official solid waste management agency. In addition, commissioners approved a letter to DEP for a Non-substantial Revision of the County Solid Waste Management Plan. It is proposed that the Board of the GLRA serve as the conduit to provide progress reports to the various Municipalities of the County and to waste haulers. Ordinance 15 will undergo a thorough review by staff and attorneys to reflect recent court cases in the recycling regulations and the industry. In their 10-year management plan, the County will continue to support flow-control of waste as the best method of providing capacity assurance. Lebanon County is recycling at almost twice the state's required 35%,
