Hazelwood Green Household Chemical Disposal 2024

Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) will conclude its 2024 household chemical collection campaign on November 9 by hosting a drive-thru event in Pittsburgh to provide Pennsylvania residents with an opportunity to safely dispose of household cleaners, automotive fluids, paints, pesticides, e-cigarettes and other products containing potentially hazardous components.

This final PRC household chemical collection of 2024 – presented in partnership with PPG and Pittsburgh Penguins – will take place on Saturday, November 9, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Hazelwood Green, 4601 Lytle St, Pittsburgh, PA15207. Participants must register in advance at www.prc.org/CollectionEvents or by calling 412-488-7490.

“It’s important to manage these materials the right way because many contain toxic elements that can leach into our waterways or introduce dangerous toxins into our environment,” according to PRC Executive Director Darren Spielman. “PRC and partners provide residents with numerous options for recycling materials not accepted in curbside pickup, and since 2003 we’ve facilitated the safe management of more than six million pounds of household chemicals.”

A $20 fee will cover the cost of disposing up to 10 gallons/50 pounds of aerosol cans, automotive fluids, chemistry sets, electronic cigarettes/capes, gasoline and kerosene, household cleaners, mercury thermometers, paint products, pesticides/garden chemicals, photo chemicals and pool chemicals.

Loads exceeding 10 gallons/50 pounds will be subject to additional fees at discretion of on-site staff. Participants will also pay $12 per fire extinguisher and $15 per pound of liquid mercury.
