Hello [subscriber:firstname | default:reader]
|
Today's newsletter isn't just announcing new items. We're also happy to share several small local channels to recycle some items not accepted in the City's curbside recycling program. We're seeing more of these popup "streams" appear - if you know of others, let us know!

For all of these programs, please be sure your items are clean before you drop off!

New Items on Recycle This Pittsburgh

These multi-layer bags are often made from both plastic and foil. They help to keep snack foods fresh. Unfortunately, chip bags of any kind are not accepted in the City of Pittsburgh's curbside recycling. Due to their light weight and material variation, they generally aren't desired or accepted in most recycling programs.

Parchment paper is often used in cooking in the kitchen. It is covered with a thin coat of silicon which makes it heat resistant so it can be used in the oven. Because this paper is typically used with food products, you should not put used parchment paper into Pittsburgh's curbside recycling- though the box that parchment paper typically comes in can be recycled.

Various products from spray paint to hair spray to sunscreen come in these metal aerosol cans. The cans themselves are accepted by the city's curbside recycling program however any removable caps are NOT accepted. Pittsburgh does not accept any caps, loose or attached, in recycling. If the caps are #5 polypropylene, they can be recycled through a couple of other channels.
