If you’re wondering what to do with your old television or computer tower that’s been collecting dust in storage, the Pennsylvania Resources Council has the answer for you.
In July, the nonprofit will host two hard-to-recycle collection events in collaboration with the Allegheny County Health Department and other entities where area residents may conveniently dispose of numerous items not suitable for curbside recycling.
The first event takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 10 at Quaker Valley High School in Leetsdale. Registration is required. A second collection takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 31 at La Roche University in McCandless Township. Registration for that event opens on June 30.

A hard-to-recycle event next month at the Pittsburgh Mills in Frazer will kick off a series of six such events around the region this summer and fall.
The events, part of the Pennsylvania Resources Council’s Hard-to-Recycle Collection Campaign, allow residents to get rid of items not typically collected by trash haulers and Pittsburgh’s environment services, such as cellphones, tires, TVs, computer parts and more. Those wishing to drop off such items are asked to register in advance to streamline the process, organizers said.
