With Gratitude and Remembrance
Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling’s Board and Staff recognize the passing of Albert Barnett and Archie Bossart in early 2018. As founding members of Westmoreland Cleanways, it is impossible to quantify what these two gentlemen contributed to this organization. Countless hours of slinging tires, picking up trash, assisting at collection events, attending board meetings and other discussions, helping in the office, and lending moral support; you name it, Al and Archie where there. For over 20 years, their quiet strength and common sense through thick and thin never wavered, helping to keep this organization true to its visions and goals. We are honored to carry on the legacy begun in 1990 by Sue Wiseman and her band of visionaries, and ever so grateful to Al and Archie for keeping us on the right path.

2021 Leadership Transition
After 23 years of working with Westmoreland Cleanways Ellen Keefe retired in October 2021. Ellen’s vision, drive, and tenacity led to Cleanways ability to implement a recycling center, and advance recycling and waste reduction within Westmoreland County. She took a very small nonprofit organization and created an enduring legacy that the board and the staff strive to honor and uphold.
