Southeastern Chester County Refuse Authority (SECCRA) is a municipal authority formed in 1968 to provide a regional waste management approach to municipal solid waste problems in southern Chester County.

SECCRA's current landfill in London Grove Township started operations in 1986. It serves 24 boroughs and townships in southern Chester County. The landfill has received more than 1,000,000 tons of waste so far. This will serve the community until 2012. SECCRA operated a landfill in Kennett Township from 1968 to 1978. That landfill was closed and has subsequently been incorporated into the Anson B. Nixon Park.

Eighty five thousand people reside in the SECCRA service area and the number is growing at an increasing rate. The residents generate approximately one ton per capita per year. More Info Here.
