Tour the Resource Recover Center (RRC)

Students enjoy visiting the RRC for a very educational tour.   It stimulates all of the senses and outlines the process of turning York County's trash into an alternative fuel to produce power. Visiting our RRC is FREE and we offer a Tour Scholarship Program which pays for a bus for your visit. For safety purposes, students must be at least  six years of age. Find out more by clicking the links below.
