Traveling Glass Recycling Bin to Visit Allegheny County Parks in 2026

Posted on by Mary Beth Mueller

Throughout 2026, 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 am to 7 pm daily during four-week engagements. No color sorting is required. Containers should be empty and rinsed, with lids and labels still on. NOTE: Bags and boxes used to deliver glass must be discarded off-site.
PRC’s Traveling Glass Recycling Bin Program is sponsored by O-I Glass and CAP Glass and is made possible through a partnership with Michael Brothers Hauling & Recycling.
These collection sites in Allegheny County are made possible through a partnership with the county’s Parks Department and its Sustainability Office.
