Glass recycling is here at Franklin Park Borough! Together with the Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) a glass recycling bin has been placed in the parking area in the rear of the municipal building. The self-serve drop off is available daily from 8:00 am – sundown. Please follow all posted rules and drop off hours.
This bin is for approved glass material only
You must clean up glass that breaks outside the bin
When using the bin be cautious of other cars and pedestrians that utilize this area
No plastic bags, paper bags or cardboard boxes should be left in the bin Please take all trash/bags/boxes with you when leaving the premises
The Municipal Building has residential neighbors so please be courteous and refrain from utilizing the bin during hours that would disturb our neighbors.
Many residents showed an overwhelming concern that there was no outlet for the proper disposal of glass material. Franklin Park is happy to be pro-active in providing recycling options that are not available curb side to our residents and surrounding communities.
If you have any questions regarding the new drop-off site for glass please contact Donna Platt at 412-364-4115, Ext. 302 or by email at dplatt@franklinparkborough.us.
Many communities have lost access to glass collection services in their curbside recycling programs, but glass is still a highly valuable and recyclable commodity. Therefore, the Pennsylvania Resource Council (PRC) started a Traveling Glass Bin program – a week-long, rotating self-serve collection!
