Glass recycling “pop-up” events planned
The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) will introduce a series of “pop-up” glass recycling collection events in March, in response to the sudden removal of glass from many of the region’s residential curbside recycling programs. The first event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 9, at Village Square Mall parking lot in Bethel Park. Residents can drop off all colors of glass bottles, jars and jugs at no cost. PRC staff and volunteers will be on-site to assist recyclers.
Future glass recycling “pop-up” collection events include: April 6, South Fayette Municipal Complex; April 13, Dormont Pool; May 11, Village Square Mall; June 8, TBA (sponsored by the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon). All events take place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturdays.
