Mayor Kirkland wants Chester City to remain the nation’s garbage burning capital. Trash from Delaware County, Philly, NYC, New Jersey, Ocean City, MD, and beyond is sent to be burned at the Covanta incinerator in Chester, the largest in the nation and the biggest air polluter in our city. Incinerator pollution contributes to asthma, cancer, strokes, and other health issues. Delaware County decides this year whether to keep burning the county’s trash in Chester.
