  • 1 person is interested
Trunk Checking!
A volunteer checks to see how much material a participant has brought to be recycled.

Volunteers are an essential part of each and every one of our collection events! Volunteering is also a great way to make a positive impact on the environment of western PA!

What does a volunteer do?
As a collection volunteer, you will:

  • Participate in a brief training session prior to the start of your event
  • Perform tasks such as directing traffic, taking surveys, handing out educational materials, and much more. You will be engaged!
  • Volunteers can work full or half-day shifts:
    • Full-day shift: 7:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m
    • Morning shift: 7:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m
    • Afternoon shift: 10:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m

NOTE: VOLUNTEERS DO NOT HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR UNLOAD VEHICLES!

If you would like to volunteer at a Household Chemical Collection, please contact Michael Stepaniak at michaels@prc.org or call him at (412) 488-7452.

Volunteer Recognition
PRC realizes how important volunteers are! Without your help, we would not be able to offer Household Chemical Collection events to the residents of western Pennsylvania. We would like to sincerely thank all of our former volunteers for their participation, and hope that many of you will work with us in 2017!

To show our appreciation, all volunteers at collection events will receive the following free of charge:

  • Breakfast and lunch
  • Disposal of Household Chemical Waste (up to 6 gallons), a $18.00 value
  • That warm fuzzy feeling that comes from helping a good cause!

Mission Statement

PRC works hard to protect Pennsylvania's resources for future generations through environmental education, litter prevention, and waste diversion (such as recycling, composting, and reuse).

Description

PRC works with local government, communities, partner organizations, and local residents to protect Pennsylvania's resources for future generations. Our projects range from adult and in-school environmental education, waste diversion through recycling, composting, and reuse, to litter prevention through education and awareness campaigns.

PRC always needs help keeping specialty materials (like TVs and paints) out of PA homes and in the hands of those who can recycle and handle them responsibly, as well as help fighting stormwater runoff through rain garden installations.
