The Cambria County Solid Waste Authority, established in 1979 as an administrative arm of the County government, is responsible for implementing the County’s Municipal Waste Management Plan. The County Commissioners authorized the organization of the Authority with the stated purpose of planning and regulating the storage, collection, transportation, processing and disposal of solid waste within Cambria County.

Collections of material from over 20 different sites as well as material from the office make for an ever-increasing recycling yield each year.
