Board approves Cronin Recycling & Collection facility at 667 US Route 30
Summary
Findlay Township approved Preliminary & Final Land Development for a Recycling and Collection Facility operated by Robert Cronin at 667 US Route 30; conditions noted include buffering, no burning, plantings to reduce noise and a radiation meter to reject radioactive loads.
The Findlay Township Board of Supervisors on June 10, 2026 approved Preliminary and Final Land Development applications for Robert Cronin to operate a Recycling & Collection Facility with a truck scale, waste processing building and a radiation isolation area on a 25.73‑acre parcel at 667 US Route 30 in Imperial.
Assistant Manager Brandon Stanick reported that Cronin previously received a Special Exception from the Zoning Hearing Board in May. Stanick said outstanding concerns raised at the Zoning Hearing Board — including noise reduction and other requirements — had been addressed. The applicant, Robert Cronin, confirmed there will be no burning at the site, that additional plantings and buffering would be used to reduce noise, and that a radiation meter would sound if a vehicle arrived with radioactive materials and that load would be rejected.
A nearby resident, Mr. Erhlich of Combs Road, asked whether the facility would be open to the public; Cronin replied the site would accept construction debris and discarded furniture (but not household trash) and that he is considering offering a monthly bin at the top of the driveway for community use. Supervisor Janet Craig asked whether the facility would be cheaper than landfill or dumpster options; Cronin said the site will accept green waste and act primarily as a sorting facility with materials transported offsite.
Mr. Gallant moved to approve the Preliminary and Final Land Development applications as presented; Mr. Chappell seconded and the motion passed 3 Ayes.
The approval allows Cronin to proceed with site development subject to conditions and any standard plan recordation and permitting processes.
