Took 2 old tube TV’s down to 3001 Railroad St. - they took both of them for around $10.00

I had easy access to getting rid of All my cases of my Pandemic legacy Yingling beer bottles but glass was on the ground everywhere and I might wake up to a flat tire tomorrow. Also you can't see if someone else parks on the other side of the glass dumpster so when a person opened the latch door on the other side that I didn't know, I had bottles already in the air flying almost causing him to get hit with sharded glass.

Mason Wagner | Oct 20, 2019
Tyrone Wright | Oct 20, 2019

Yes on Wednesdays and Sundays for a fee call 311 for more information and times

Do you accept small electronics

Marjorie Silverman | Oct 19, 2021
Ryan Knox | Oct 19, 2021

They do not. This isn't a facility of any kind. It's a series of labeled dumpsters all together in one spot.

Where can I drop off my used tires!!! Where can I find a recycling centre for tires !!!!!

Raymond Horz | Oct 19, 2021

Go to the city of Pittsburgh website: pittsburghpa.gov. Go to the section on recycling, or search "recycle tires." The city has 3 recycling drop off centres. All 3 will take tires A maximum of 2 tires per day can be dropped off at any one of those drop off centers.. I know one is in the strip district by the 31st street bridge.

Is it free of charge? If not, what are the fees?

Patrick Corr | May 22, 2022
Sara Riddle | May 22, 2022

It's free-just break down all cardboard flat by the way. Fills up fast in all recycle dumpsters.

Is denim insulation accepted (i.e., denim insulation from a meal delivery service)?

Erin Tomaszewski | May 22, 2022
Bill Lesesne | May 22, 2022

Insulation is not accepted at this drop off site

Can I throw out photography fixer here?

Matt Torti | Feb 21, 2022
Caitlin Davin | Feb 21, 2022

Probably not. It's just got bins for regular recycling like glass, plastic, cardboard, etc.

Do they accept glass table tops from a table?

Deborah Coles | Dec 23, 2021
The Pyles | Dec 23, 2021

Those types are not typically recyclable, in my experience. The outside of the bin mentioned only bottles & jars, I think. It is a location with no people working, it's open 24 hours & drop in the correct bins yourself.

Where can I get a list of what can be recycled?

Maggie Andersen | Nov 23, 2021
christopher floyd | Nov 23, 2021

i work there, you can get a list during business hours
