September 2, 2010: Twenty-nine Rotarians were present for a presentation by Jason A. Yorks, Resource Recovery Manager and Recycling Coordinator at Lycoming County Resource Management Services. John Bickhart introduced the speaker and a lively session followed as, judging by the questions asked, members’ demonstrated significant interest in the topic. We Pennsylvanian’s individually create 5 lbs. of garbage every day! We must invest ourselves in the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) plus buy products made of recycled materials. Mr. Yorks indicated Selinsgrove should be proud of its recycling center and announced that the “soft” cardboards (cereal boxes, etc.) can now be included with cardboard until a separate container is provided.
