PROP's members have been involved with a number of projects
and have completed hours of research in order to improve recycling, composting,
and
improve the environment within the Commonwealth. Below you will find
links to some of the information we have collected and how Recycling and
Composting impacts the environment of Pennsylvania.
The Open Burning webpage contains links to a variety of informaiton, from an explanation of what Open Burning is, to the health effects caused by open burning and how open burning effects our environment.
