Pennsylvania Resources Council PRC Collection Regulations and Information
Since 2003, PRC has held Hard to Recycle collections in Southwestern PA with the
goal of providing responsible and convenient recycling for items not able to be
recycled at the curb. At these events individuals have been able to recycle such
item as e-waste, cell phones, polystyrene, compact fluorescent bulbs, alkaline
batteries, Freon-containing appliances, tires and more.
Over the past twelve years, 20,000 plus residents have participated in PRC's
collection events recycling 1,690,000 pounds of electronics, 8,800 plus tires,
2,400 Freon containing appliances and much more.
PRC partners with local companies to ensure responsible and proper disposal of
all materials collected at their events. Their electronic recycler
eLoop
LLC is a local company based in Plum Borough,
and a Basel Action
Network e-steward. As a certified e-steward, eLoop adheres to the highest
industry standard for recycling responsibility which ensures no disposal in
landfills or incinerators, no prison labor, nor any export of toxics to poor
communities. PRC's other Hard to Recycle partners include the
Allegheny
County Health Department,
NOVA
Chemicals, and
Appliance
Warehouse.
