QVCOG Glass Recycling Drop Off

2/24/2022

 
The QVCOG has launched a Pilot Glass Recycling Program for our fifteen member communities. The site opened on Saturday, March 12th and is located at Sewickley Borough's Riverfront Park (300 Chadwick St, Sewickley, PA 15143). Users are invited to use the site free of charge. The QVCOG anticipates that this Pilot Program will last approximately 3 months to evaluate the viability of the program. This Pilot Program is being funded through the QVCOG's joint recycling fund. At the Pilot Program's conclusion the QVCOG will evaluate the feasibility of establishing a second location (to be determined) as well as a shared cost structure based on each participating municipality's population. The Rules and Regulations for the program can be found below: 
  • The dumpster hauling and glass recycling service will be provided by Michael Brothers Hauling & CAP Glass; 
  • ​Hours of operations will be from Dawn to Dusk each day; 
  • Glass containers must be rinsed of any perishable debris prior to being recycled; 
  • ​Adhesive labels and container lids do not need to be removed from glass prior to being recycled; and 
  • Glass products such as mirrors, porcelain dishware, and light bulbs WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
