Leaf & Yard Waste Collection Video Conference

DEP, along with the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania (PROP), offered an interactive video conference March 25, 2003 on the topic of Leaf & Yard Waste Collection. Participants learned about leaf waste collection requirements for municipalities mandated to recycle by Act 101, successful methods of leaf and yard waste collection and how to start a leaf and yard waste collection program. The video conference featured case studies, panel discussions, live questions and answers between the panelists and downlink participants, and video production including award-winning public services announcements produced by Pennsylvania High School students on the subject of composting.
