TV Collecting
A volunteer collects a television to be responsibly recycled.

Volunteers are an essential part of each and every collection event, and volunteering is a great way to make a positive impact on the environment of Southwestern PA! At the Hard to Recycle Collection events the public is able to drop off electronic waste, tires, batteries, CFLs, and more for recycling.

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 set up, directing traffic, handing out educational materials, and much more!

Volunteer shift is as follows:

  • Full-day shift: 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
  • Partial day shifts:
    • 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
    • 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

PRC provides breakfast, lunch and refreshments for the day. The events run rain or shine so volunteers are advised to dress for the weather. Safety vests and gloves are provided to all volunteers.

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.
