PENN WASTE DONATES 53 BIKES FOR A “WHEELIE” GOOD CAUSE

The Company raised over $8,450 towards their Annual Christmas Promise Bike Program  

York, PA – December 17, 2021 – Penn Waste, a waste and recycling company servicing south central Pennsylvania, is spreading holiday cheer this season by donating 53 bikes and bike helmets to children in need just in time for Christmas. Penn Waste team members raised over $8,450 through employee and vendor contributions to purchase the bikes.

“Part of our culture at Penn Waste is our commitment to our communities.  Our parent company, Waste Connections, has a particular passion for helping children in-need and at-risk. Their annual Christmas Promise Bike Program has provided 43,000 bikes to children in need nationwide since the program started 20 years ago. It’s very inspiring to see our team members come together for this worthy cause,” said Mark Pergolese, District Manager for Penn Waste.

The bikes were donated to Community Action Partnership (CAP) in Lancaster County.  Community Action Partnership is Lancaster County’s largest anti-poverty organization and boasts a service profile that interrupts inter-generational poverty with programs that assist families at every age and place in life.
