PITTSBURGH (100.1 FM and AM 1020 KDKA) The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) Traveling Glass Recycling Bin Program provides a free recycling service that rotates through a variety of locations in western Pennsylvania. This innovative program provides residents with a higher quality glass recycling option than typical curbside programs, ensuring that glass deposited into the bin meets the highest standards and can be fully recycled.

"The bin visits various locations on a weekly basis from Saturday through Thursday, typically from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.," according to PRC Glass Program Simon Joseph. "A bottle, jar or jug dropped in the bin today could be recycled and back on a store shelf in less than 30 days."


The PRC requests that the containers dropped off must be empty and rinsed, with their lids and labels still on.

PRC Traveling Glass Recycling Bin weeklong engagements in June 2023:

June 3–8 @ DEER LAKES PARK (Allegheny County)
