Summary
The February 26, 1991 Beaver Beacon published Waste Management Committee guidance for the new transfer station and recycling center. It asked residents to separate recyclables, compost plant matter, use paid green bags, isolate hazardous materials, and keep household garbage dry to reduce baler leachate.
Evidence limits
This is operational guidance during the system’s initial transition; it does not establish long-term hours, final disposal contracts, or later facility performance.
