Wheelabrator has also been the most generous corporate sponsor through the years, with gifts in excess of $300,000. Wheelabrator occupies a seat on our Board of Directors, is always willing to assist with special projects, the leadership attends our special events, and the corporation is an excellent ambassador for SOS in the community. Wheelabrator is a model corporation involved with the not-for-profit community and has indeed changed so many lives of foster children in such significant ways. We are indeed very grateful.”

“Westchester County government earned its stripes long ago as its policies became a model for others. It has been innovative, becoming the first to create a parkway and parks system, to develop a compassionate social service system that was copied by others, and to dispose of solid waste by erecting a garbage-to-energy plant.”

“We have enjoyed working with them (Wheelabrator) and it has been a very positive relationship, going on 21 years. We renewed for two five-year extensions for two reasons: 1.) low cost, economics work well for us, and 2.) reduction due to incineration is positive. There have been no concerns about health, air or water quality. The plant must meet all EPA and state regulations and if there is anything ever wrong, they fix it right away. They are a good neighbor and the staff has always been great to work with.”

“Wheelabrator has been a positive influence on our recycling program. They are proactive in encouraging people to recycle and not put recycling in the waste stream – it’s a watchdog effect, and it’s helping our recycling. There hasn’t been anything environmentally negative; actually it’s been the opposite with the bird sanctuary and the whole area around the facility. It’s a pretty good scientific thing to do with trash. I encourage people to get to know Wheelabrator.”
