While maintaining several long-running programs including the American flag retirement effort, Long Island Community Relations Specialist Maureen Early (left) pivoted quickly when the pandemic struck last March. She immediately switched to providing virtual tours of the Hempstead facility and kicked off a robust program to address local food insecurity. Maureen also helped keep Covanta visible in the local community, participating in local parades with a vehicle wrapped with a message to honor veterans and frontline workers. See all of the work done by Maureen and her colleagues on Long Island by visiting the community news pages of Covanta Hempstead, Huntington, MacArthur, and Babylon.
