2023 COLLECTIONS TO ACCEPT E-WASTE, TIREs, SMALL FREON APPLIANCES, HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS AND MORE
Mark your 2023 calendar now for dates to drop off a wide variety of materials – ranging from computers and tires to household chemicals and smoke detectors – at upcoming collection events sponsored by Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) and its partners.
“PRC provides residents with numerous options for the recycling and safe management of a wide variety of materials not accepted in curbside pickup including TVs, tires and household chemicals,” according to PRC Executive Director Darren Spielman. “It’s important to manage these materials the right way because many contain toxic elements that can leach into our waterways or introduce dangerous toxins into our environment, while others contain valuable recyclable materials.”
“We encourage residents to join PRC as we work together to protect the environment by responsibly stewarding tons of materials throughout 2023,” said Spielman. “Register to attend one or more collections, and consider expanding your involvement this year by volunteering at a PRC event and contributing to our mission.”
These are drive-thru events. Participants should place items in their car trunks or truck beds and stay in their vehicles while contractors unload the materials. PRC accepts cash, checks, credit and debit cards.
