Household Hazardous Waste is that portion of a household product which is no longer usable, leftover, or not wanted and has to be disposed of. You can tell if a product is hazardous if it has words like CAUTION, WARNING, POISON, or FLAMMABLE on the label.

Have you wondered what to do with the old paint cans sitting in your garage or basement?  What about dad's old chemistry set collecting dust in the attic?  Now's your chance to get rid of these items with a good conscience.

PRC is the administrating organization of the Southwestern PA Household Hazardous Waste Task Force, a group designed to offer residents of SW PA the opportunity to safely and responsibly dispose of HHW. More information is available on the website: http://www.prc.org/community_hhw.html

Participant fee $2/gallon—cash only. This fee pertains to all counties except Westmoreland. Sorry--no credit cards or checks will be accepted.  The Task Force reserves the right to charge extra for excess quantities.
