PITTSBURGH (100.1 FM and AM 1020 KDKA) The Pennsylvania Resource Council (PRC) is introducing its 2023 HARD-TO-RECYCLE COLLECTION campaign by hosting an event at Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills, Frazer Township, on Saturday, June 3, from 9AM – 1PM. This is the first of three recycling campaigns the PRC is overseeing.
Throughout the summer and upcoming fall, three hard-to-recycle collections held in partnership with the Allegheny County Health Department will enable individuals to responsibly recycle a wide variety of items not accepted in curbside collection such as e-waste, tires and small Freon appliances. In addition to the later dates in 2023, June 3rd is the first opportunity for Western PA residents to drop off their "hard to recycle" items.
According to the PRC:
"For a $5 PARTICIPANT FEE, individuals can drop off unlimited cell/home phones, computer towers and peripheral equipment (keyboards, laptops, mice, etc.), expanded polystyrene packaging material, microwave ovens and video game consoles/DVD players."
"For a FEE, individuals can drop off televisions and computer monitors, printers, fluorescent tubes, small Freon appliances and tires (with and without rims)."
Note: $5 participant fee waived if individual pays fee to dispose of any of these materials.
Participants must register in advance at www.prc.org/CollectionEvents or by calling 412-488-7490 x1.
