Since 2003, Pennsylvania Resources Council has hosted Household Chemical Collection Events in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The program is made possible by the support of many partners and volunteers. The events have directly resulted in the safe management of 6,000,000 lbs of household chemicals.
The events are restricted to household quantities of household chemicals. If you have materials generated by a business or other commercial source, please contact us for assistance. For events outside of Western Pennsylvania, please contact your County Recycling Coordinator. We also have information for counties we partner with at our events.
