Jump-start your Earth Day weekend Saturday, April 20, from 9 am to 1 pm, at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills with PRC and partners at the first Hard to Recycle Collection of 2013.

NEW THIS YEAR - PRC is partnering with NOVA Chemicals and Appliance Warehouse to collect hard white molded packing material free of charge, at every Hard to Recycle collection. Televisions, computers, cell phones, ink/toner cartridges, CFLs and small appliances will also be collected at no cost.

For a nominal fee, residents can drop off paper for shredding,  alkaline batteries,  fluorescent tubes, specialty lights and small Freon appliances. Click here for a detailed price list.
