PA Resources Council To Hold 7 Hard-To-Recycle, Household Chemical, Electronics Waste Collection Events in Allegheny, Beaver, Delaware, Montgomery Counties

The PA Resources Council will host seven hard-to-recycle, household chemical and electronics waste collection events in Allegheny, Beaver, Delaware, Montgomery counties in the coming weeks.

Clean out the basement, the garage and the garden shed.  There’s still plenty of time in 2025 to responsibly dispose of a wide variety of materials – ranging from pesticides and paints to televisions and tires – at upcoming PRC collection events.

“PRC provides residents with numerous options for the recycling and safe management of a wide variety of materials not accepted in curbside pickup,” according to PRC Executive Director Darren Spielman.  “It’s important to manage these materials the right way because many contain toxic elements that can leach into our waterways or introduce dangerous toxins into our environment, while others contain valuable recyclable resources.”

All events take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Advance registration is required online.
