In its 25 years of existence in Souderton Borough, no one can remember a time when recycling didn't take place at the WAWA food market. Year after year after year, the local manager makes sure that every employee is trained to be aware of recycling.

As with other similar operations, the store receives most of its products in cardboard containers. And thanks to an active recycling program that is supported at the highest corporate level, those cardboard boxes are sent back to be recycled.

Since WAWA has been an active recycler for many years and plans to continue its good work, the Borough of Souderton is pleased to present the "Excellence in Recycling Award" for Souderton Borough to the WAWA food market.
