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.

Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Saturday

DISPOSAL OF RECYCLABLES BY CERTAIN AREA WASTE HAULERS
It
has come to our attention that a small number of area waste haulers are collecting
recycle materials and then mixing them with trash for
disposal. It is important to note that almost all the haulers in the area are doing the right thing. More info here.
