PRC Hard To Recycle Events Keep Thousands Of Pounds Of Waste From Landfills

The PA Resources Council would like to thank all of our sponsors, partner organizations, volunteers, and contractors for making the 2014 Hard to Recycle Collections the most successful  in the program's 10+ year history!
PRC was excited and amazed by the response from the general public this year. We'd especially like to thank eLoop LLC, Liberty Tire, and the Appliance Warehouse  for their amazing work this event season and the Allegheny County Health Department, NOVA Chemical, Duquesne Light Watt Choices, Colcom Foundation, and the Heinz Endowments for their continued support of these events.
This year alone we had almost 3,000 participants keep over 300,000 pounds of electronics and more out of our landfills. This doesn't even include the hundreds of pounds of DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes, tires, batteries, and waste oil we recycled!
The PA Resources Council and its partners will host the last electronics recycling collection event of the year in Lansdowne Borough, Delaware County on November 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Click Here for all the details.
