The Foundation’s mission is to make connections with and build understanding of our environment, encourage programs that enhance our natural environment, and reclaim a common sense of our environment in southern Chester County.

The Foundation has adopted guidelines for the preparation of applications.  These may be used by prospective applicants to determine whether their projects fit with the Foundation’s mission.  You can get a copy of the guidelines and/or application information by clicking here.

Electronics Recycling now FREE for Individuals

Because of changes in market conditions, SECCRA is now able to accept your electronics for recycling at no charge. We are extending this to all residents in our service area. However, this does not include groups or companies, so fees may still apply to those entities.
