Allegheny County's Department of Sustainability and PRC has rolled out a Traveling Glass Recycling program. This self-serve glass drop-off site travels to various locations around the county, making it easier to recycle glass. 

The traveling glass bin will be at each park for two weeks, Saturday through Friday, available daily from 7:00 am - dusk.

Glass Recycling 

Glass is still one of the most recyclable materials generated in homes, and should not be trashed. Glass bottles and jars are 100% recyclable and can be recycled for reuse endlessly without losing any quality, which makes the effort to put these items back into the recycling ecosystem even more important.

Acceptable Types of Glass

Check the flyer to see what can be recycled(PDF, 452KB) in the Traveling Glass Bin program.  

Glass Preparation

Containers should be empty and rinsed. Lids and labels don't need to be removed. Bags and boxes used to carry the glass to the recycling bin must be discarded off-site, do not place these in the glass bin.
