Chester residents unhappy with taking Philly’s trash, speak out at City Council hearing

The mayor’s pilot program adding another trash day in Center City and South Philly was meant to reduce litter — but some residents say the problem has only gotten worse.

The documentary "Trash & Burn" alleges that America's largest trash incinerator is causing Chester's childhood asthma rates to be four times the national average.

Grants for solar panels, turning tree waste into lumber and cleaning up litter are coming to the region. Some advocates say more is needed.
