recycling

For the second year, Allegheny County and the Pennsylvania Resources Council will bring a glass recycling bin to county parks for residents to recycle jars, bottles and more.

Some recycling companies have decided that glass is not a material they want, because of the contamination issues, and because it’s heavy. If a local recycling company decides not to pick it up at curbside, municipalities have little choice.

Allegheny County will soon have two new sites to drop off glass recycling. The first site will open at the Village Square Mall Tuesday.

The City of Pittsburgh will partner with a recycling company to collect hard-to-dispose materials, like computers, light bulbs, and paint, at four events this fall.Some items will incur a fee, but financial assistance is available.
