1Thing: Pennsylvania Resources Council to hold chemical collection events in June

The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) is holding another household chemical disposal event in mid-June.

The PRC held a similar event earlier this year, and the next disposal date will be Saturday, June 12.


The events allow residents of western Pennsylvania to "conveniently dispose of materials such as cleaners, paints, stains and varnishes, batteries, motor oil, and pesticides."

June 12's event will open up at 9 a.m and go to 1 p.m. at the Fayette County Fairgrounds.

That won't be the only collection date in June, though.

On Saturday, June 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the PRC will be doing its collections at Wild Things Park in Washington County.

There is a $20 fee, but it covers the costs of disposing of up to 10 pounds of aerosol cans, automotive fluids, chemistry sets, gasoline and kerosene, household cleaners, mercury thermometers, paint products, pesticide, garden chemicals, photo chemicals, or pool chemicals.

There will also be an additional charge of $12 per fire extinguisher and $15 per pound of liquid mercury.

Those who intend to participate in either event must register on the PRC website.
