Schuylkill County Commissioners recently commended a volunteer and a business for the work they do to keep the community clean.
Kaye Schwenk, a biology teacher and biology club adviser at Schuylkill Haven High School, and Hydro-Extrusions North America, a business in Cressona, were both thanked for their efforts.
“Schuylkill County is a great county,” said Commissioner Larry Padora.
Schwenk, who received the Volunteer of the the Year award, is one of seven volunteers to receive the 2024 award from Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. Recipients get a certificate of recognition and glass tumblers made from recycled bottles. Hydro, which received the Community Partner Award, is one of seven community partners statewide to receive the honor, a certificate of recognition and a plaque from Schuylkill Keep It Pretty (SKIP), an affiliate of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.
