Goodwill Keystone, in partnership with Reworld™, is proud to announce receiving the William M. Heenan, Jr. Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Development Award on January 31, 2025. This recognition celebrates our joint efforts in providing free electronic waste (e-waste) recycling services to millions across 22 counties in Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Environmental Impact
Through this initiative, we've successfully diverted 1.4 million pounds of e-waste from landfills, repurposing valuable materials and preventing hazardous substances from harming our environment. This achievement underscores our commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management.
Community Benefits
Our program offers residents a convenient and eco-friendly solution for disposing of unwanted electronics at no cost. By facilitating proper recycling, we not only protect the environment but also support local communities through job creation and resource conservation.
Leadership Acknowledgment
Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis commended the partnership, stating, "This collaboration not only prevents waste but also creates jobs here in the Commonwealth with Goodwill Keystone and Reworld." DEP Acting Secretary Jessica Shirley added that the program provides millions with an environmentally safe option for electronics disposal, highlighting its dual environmental and economic benefits.
Looking Ahead
Goodwill Keystone remains dedicated to environmental stewardship and community support. We encourage residents to continue utilizing our e-waste recycling services, contributing to a sustainable future for Pennsylvania.
