Don't Trash That TV Event! Brought to you by the Pennsylvania Resources Council with support from
Waste Management and the City of Pittsburgh.
The February 21st 2009 TV Recycling Collection was a great success. Over 177 people participated in the event and 235 TVs were collected for recycling!
In 2008, 1183 people participated in PRC and the Allegheny County Health Department’s Hard to Recycle Collections. We Collected:
Since 2002, PRC has been actively involved in hosting one-day collecti
on events for items that are difficult to recycle or dispose. PRC has conducted collections for appliances, tires, latex paint, electronics, propane tanks, used furniture and other materials.
The concept for the collections grew from the need to address residents' concerns about where to dispose of particular items. The collections provide individuals a responsible disposal outlet and offer an alternative to simply discarding material in a landfill. All materials collected at PRC events are recycled, refurbished, or responsibly disposed.
