City Slates Clean-Up Day, Recycling Event

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

The city will hold a free electronics recycling event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10 , a spokeswoman for Mayor Michael Cherepko said.

Unwanted electronics should be dropped off at the public works garage (13th Avenue at Railroad Street) in the Third Ward. Curbside pickup can also be arranged in advance by calling (412) 675-5020, extension 631. Residents should call before Aug. 9 to arrange pickup.

The event will accept unwanted TV sets, computers, computer monitors and printers, stereos, cell phones, cameras and microwave ovens. All items will be recycled by Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh.

Computers are either disassembled and recycled or are refurbished to be sold at Goodwill stores. The event helps keep hazardous waste out of landfills and helps raise money for Goodwill programs.

In addition, neighborhood task forces throughout McKeesport will be teaming up on Aug. 10 to conduct clean-up days. Full garbage bags left on corners will be picked up for disposal.

For more information, call the mayor's office at (412) 675-5020.
