Safety is the top priority at Penn Waste. Our entire team, from our drivers to the men and women who staff the recycling center, are committed to safe operating practices. Because they are out in the community each and every day, we ensure all of our employees are trained in the latest waste management safety practices and are provided the most up-to-date equipment and ongoing training.

Our safety supervisors are in constant communication with drivers, often times following them on routes to ensure the safety of the Penn Waste workers, but also members of the communities we serve. In addition, Penn Waste operates the best equipment and rigorously maintains our vehicles at our on-site repair facility in York, PA.
