PRC - Hard To Recycle Collections

Since 2003, Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) has held Hard to Recycle collections in Southwestern PA. The goal is to provide responsible and convenient disposal for items that are not eligible for curbside recycling.  At these events, individuals can recycle items such as e-waste, cell phones, polystyrene, Freon-containing appliances, tires, and more.  For more information follow the link to the PRC’s Hard to Recycle Collections page.
