September “Traveling Glass Recycling Bin” Schedule

Posted on August 30, 2023 by Pennsylvania Resources Council

PRC’s Traveling Glass Recycling Bin Program provides a free recycling service that rotates through a variety of locations in western Pennsylvania.  This innovative program provides residents with a higher quality glass recycling option than typical curbside programs, ensuring that glass deposited into the bin meets the highest standards and can be fully recycled.

PRC Traveling Glass Recycling Bin weeklong engagements in September 2023:

September 9-14 @ WHITE OAK PARK (Allegheny County)
2632 McClintock Rd, White Oak, PA 15131
hosted by Allegheny County

September 16-21 @ SOUTH FAYETTE (Allegheny County)
515 Millers Run Rd, Morgan, PA 15064
hosted by South Fayette

September 30-October 5 @ CITY OF HERMITAGE FIRE STATION #3 (Mercer County)
541 Mercer Avenue, Hermitage, PA 16148 (across from Morefield Cemetery)
hosted by City of Hermitage

“The bin visits various locations on a weekly basis from Saturday through Thursday, typically from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.,” according to PRC Glass Program Coordinator Ethan Woodfill.  “A bottle, jar or jug dropped in the bin today could be recycled and back on a store shelf in less than 30 days.”

Individuals can drop off glass bottles, jars and jugs of all colors (no color sorting required).  Containers should be empty and rinsed, with lids and labels still on.  Bags and boxes used to deliver glass must be discarded off-site.

Last year, PRC’s glass recycling program enabled 45,000 households in western Pennsylvania to drop off nearly two million pounds of bottles, jars and jugs for recycling.

PRC’s Traveling Glass Recycling Bin Program is sponsored by Owens-Illinois, Inc. and CAP Glass and is made possible through a partnership with Michael Brothers Hauling & Recycling.  For more information, visit prc.org/glass.
