"Did you know that the average American generates 4.4 pounds of trash per day? That totals 230 million tons per year. We're the Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association and it's up to our members, the private-sector waste haulers and landfill operators of Pennsylvania, to collect and dispose of this volume of waste on a daily basis—and to do it safely and efficiently. We're proud to be part of the solid waste management solution."
Tim O'Donnell, President, Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association
