Recycling Resource Directory

Revised 3/2023

Printed on Recycled Paper

Dear Recycler:

Allegheny County appreciates your desire to recycle. To assist you in that effort, we have developed this directory of locations in the County which accept various materials for recycling -- from glass containers to polystyrene loose fill.

We hope that you are able to find a location close to you to take the items you wish to recycle. This directory is divided into three sections:

List of recyclers by material type (such as glass, newsprint, etc.) and location in the County (North, South, East, West, or Pittsburgh)

List of recyclers in alphabetical order (listing address, phone number, hours of business and materials accepted)

List of commercial, large volume recyclers

For items not listed in this directory, such as used motor oil, please call the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Recycling Hotline at 1-800-346-4242, or the Allegheny County Recycling Office at 412-578-8390.

Thank you for your interest in recycling. An electronic version of this document is available on our website at alleghenycounty.us/ healthdepartment. Please help us keep our directory current by letting us know of any changes to the listings.
