Pike County has a great community outreach program and frequently hosts cleanup events. Community events are held for hazardous waste, small appliances, scrap tires, and electronics collection. For Hazardous waste, Pike County does not have a hazardous household waste disposal program, Pike County residents are advised by an article in the Pike County Courier to do the following:

Household Hazardous Waste, such as pesticides, can be thrown in the trash following the rules below:

1. You followed the waste disposal instructions on the label of the bottle

2. The waste has no free-standing liquids. If the hazardous waste is water-based, let the liquid evaporate. If the waste is not water-based, allow the liquid to absorb into either: cat litter, sawdust, vermiculite, or another absorbent material.

3. You made sure the waste was packaged in a way to prevent any from leaking on its way to a disposal facility in your area.

4. You have a small amount of hazardous waste. If you have a large amount, it is advised to break the amount into small quantities, so they are thrown away at several collection periods.

If you have specific questions about which items can be disposed of in this manner, how to dispose of other types of waste, or alternative and safer ways to dispose of this waste contact us.

On November 15th there is a national recycling event called America Recycle's Day. American Recycles Day helps to get local community members to go out and try to recycle items instead of throwing them into the trash, where they end up in landfill. People are encouraged to spread the word about this event to encourage recycling and help divert reusable materials from landfills to create a greener planet, reduce our energy consumption, and save countless animals and their habitats.

Pennsylvania is a beautiful state with many natural resources and landscapes that need to be preserved. However, there are many areas across the state that are overflowing with trash and litter, which not only hurts the environment but is also costing the state a lot of money in cleanup efforts.

Every year the DOT and DEP of Pennsylvania encourage thousands of volunteers across Pennsylvania to go out and help with community cleanup efforts, resulting in the removal of millions of pounds of trash from natural landscapes. This helps out the environment, water systems, and residents who live in these areas with a high amount of litter. They have collected litter data and developed an action plan to help communities across Pennsylvania to continue and grow the recycling initiative.

A new Pennsylvania Law prohibits residents to throw away their old electronic devices, which can cause real harm to the environment if not disposed of properly. You can find an E-Cycling center near you to dispose of these the proper way. You can also call the Department of Environmental Protection’s recycling hotline to find out how to dispose of hazardous items, like electronics, that cannot be thrown away with household trash and need to be disposed of through special collection.
