Consider the community: Community and experts ask state committee to empower DEP March 4, 2025
Delaware County Daily Times
Walter Tsou of the Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania said emphasis needs to also be on reducing the trash sent to the Reworld Resource Recovery Center, formerly known as the Covanta incinerator, in Chester.
“If we don’t renew the Reworld permit, what are we going to do with all of this trash?” he asked, after adding, “Couldn’t we be smarter about plastics in our state? Maybe we should tax plastics.”
Tsou received applause for that comment as well as his statement, “Ever so slowly, we need to close Covanta.”
