Econ Provides Recycling for the Solanco Parade
KIRKWOOD -- Econ Refuse Service, of Kirkwood, provided white recycling boxes for plastics and cans along the parade route along with their usual contribution of brown boxes for trash. Disposing your soda can or water bottle before, during and after the Solanco Fair Parade just got a lot easier and a lot better for the environment.

Econ featured one of two full size, full service recycling trucks in the Solanco Fair Parade this year. After the parade is over, the truck went back to the beginning and redo the route, picking up and properly disposing of the recycling. All of the recycling picked up at the parade is accredited to the Quarryville Borough. The greater the recycling rate, the greater the funds the Borough receives from recycling. Last year Econ recycled more than 200 tons from mandated recycling areas in Southern Lancaster County.

This is the third year they have provided trash service for the Solanco Fair parade and the first year for recycling during the parade. Providing recycling for the Fair is a natural fit as the Solanco Fair directors are working hard to “Go Green”. Econ has provided similar services for events like the Quarryville Library’s Earth Day and Sisters In Christ.

Econ Refuse Service has been serving the Southern End with full service residential and commercial trash service and recycling since April 2004. Owners Dan & Debbie Proffitt are residents in Kirkwood and active volunteers at Solanco. Dan is a volunteer elementary wrestling coach and serves on the Wrestling Board and Debbie is the President of the Soccer Booster Assn. They have three children, Ryan and Alec attending Solanco, and Beth at Indiana University of PA.
