Traveling Glass Recycling Bin to Visit Allegheny County Parks in 2025

Posted on by Mary Beth Mueller

Throughout 2025, PRC’s Traveling Glass Recycling Bin — a temporary, rotating self-serve collection service — will visit seven Allegheny County Parks, offering individuals an opportunity to drop off glass bottles, jars and jugs of all colors from 7 a.m. to sunset daily during two-week engagements. No color sorting is 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.
PRC’s Traveling Glass Recycling Bin Program is sponsored by CAP Glass and is made possible through a partnership with Michael Brothers Hauling & Recycling. The collection sites at the Allegheny County Parks are made possible through a partnership with the county’s Parks Department and its Sustainability Office.
