Grand Central Landfill is committed to keeping the community informed. Below, you will find the most recent landfill operations neighborhood update.
- Landfill Operations: We are currently accepting an average of 2500 tons per day.
- The horizontal gas collection well in Cell 17 is about 80% complete. The team will be wrapping this project up in the coming weeks.
- Since 2001, WM has provided almost $19 million in EITC grants that help Pennsylvania students offset the cost of private school tuition and support outside-the-classroom programs for public school students. This year's funding also will provide assistance to children from under-performing school districts who wish to attend non-public schools. Locally, Grand Central Representatives awarded five organizations in the Slate Belt, Lehigh Valley and Poconos a combined $25,000 in October.
- Grand Central Landfill, Nestle Waters and fellow businesses in the Slate Belt proudly supported the Pen Argyl School District’s Stuff the Bus event on November 20th. The school reached out for help as they received 12 pallets of food and didn’t have anywhere to store them, let alone pick them up. Ultimately, the school decided to hold the event at GCSL’s parking lot – which served as a very nice setting for the event. The event collected more than 7,000 items and fed over 75 families.
