Allegheny County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Nets 700 Participants

On August 2 volunteers joined the PA Resources Council to collect household chemicals from over 700 participants in Boyce Park in Allegheny County! Families brought paints, cleaners, batteries, auto fluids, and more to be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way.

This collection marked PRC's 75th chemical collection in our 75th year of operation. So, lucky participant 75, received a gift from us - free disposal and a Litterbug bobblehead!

These events keep thousands of pounds of toxic materials out of Pennsylvania's waste stream and waterways!

PRC holds events like this throughout the non-winter months. Click Here to see the schedule of upcoming events.
