eWaste Recycling - Aug 25

It’s time to trek down to the basement or up to the attic and drag out broken televisions, empty batteries and other items you can’t dump at the curb.



The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) will be holding two more collection events in western Pennsylvania for hard-to-recycle items and household chemicals in August and October.

Events are Saturdays  from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving you the chance to safely dispose of materials that can’t be tossed in the trash or a recycling bin.



Free: Individuals can drop off “e-waste” such as computers, cell phones, printer/toner cartridges, CFLs and expandable polystyrene packaging material at no cost.
For a fee: individuals can drop off alkaline batteries, televisions, computer monitors, fluorescent tubes, small Freon appliances and tires.
2018 hard-to-recycle collection schedule:

  • August 25 (Century III Mall, West Mifflin, Allegheny County)
  • October 6 (Settlers Cabin Park, Robinson Township, Allegheny County)
