Covanta, has expanded its partnership with Wreaths Across America to sustainably recycle and dispose of wreaths that are laid on gravestones of military veterans at cemeteries across the United States. Wreaths Across America is a national nonprofit organization founded in 2007 with a mission to remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families, and teach the next generation about the value of freedom. In the weeks following the end of the holiday season, Wreaths Across America volunteers collect hundreds of thousands of evergreen wreaths placed at over 1,640 participating locations. To help ease the burden of disposal, the wreaths are delivered and processed at nearby Covanta Energy-from-Waste facilities free of charge. As an added benefit, Covanta's facilities recover energy from the organic portion of the wreaths and the metal frame is collected for recycling.
