PRC will launch its 2025 HARD-TO-RECYCLE collection campaign by hosting an event in Allegheny County on Saturday, May 17.
Throughout the spring, summer and fall, a series of hard-to-recycle collections 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.
The first hard-to-recycle collection of the season will take place on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. in North Park, Allegheny County. Presenting sponsor of this event is Allegheny County Health Department.
