The SWANA SC Palmetto Chapter has named Eric Rekitt as the Young Professional (YP) Representative for the Chapter.  

 

Eric Rekitt is the Solid Waste Disposal/Landfill Supervisor for York County, SC. The purpose of the YP Program is to motivate other young professionals to become active members of SWANA, in addition to offering fresh ideas and a new perspective to SWANA’s members. The YP program is an initiative developed by National SWANA to get young professionals excited and interested in the solid waste industry. Eric will work with other YP Representatives from SWANA Chapters across the country.

 

Like most of us, we didn't pursue a career in the solid waste industry. Our path just led us to it. 

 

Congratulations to Eric.
