2011 Collection Event Season Update

Plans for the 2011 Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program are well underway. The tentative schedule includes HHW events in Allegheny County (May & October), Cambria County (May), Armstrong County (June), Venango County (July), and Beaver County (October).

In addition, we are working on sponsoring a number of collections for unwanted and expired pharmaceuticals in the western PA region. For the most current information on 2011 HHW and pharmaceutical collection events, please visit www.swpahhw.org or call Michael at (412) 488-7452.

In addition to these events, our parent organization, the PA Resources Council, is also planning several Hard-to-Recycle collections. For detailed information, please visit the HRC Events page or call Sarah at (412) 488-7490 ext. 236.
