Pennsylvania Resources Council will launch its 2023 Hard-to-Recycle Collection Campaign with an event at Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills, Frazer, on Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
Throughout the summer and 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, according to a PRC news release.
For a $5 participant fee, individuals can drop off unlimited cell or home phones, computer towers and peripheral equipment (keyboards, laptops, mice, etc.), expanded polystyrene packaging material, microwave ovens, and video game consoles and 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: The $5 participant fee is waived if an individual pays a fee to dispose of any of these materials.
Participants must register in advance at www.prc.org/CollectionEvents or by calling 412-488-7490, ext. 1.
