Glass Recycling
Moon Township residents can soon drop off glass bottles, jars, and jugs at a permanent recycling dumpster in the Moon Township Public Works Garage lot thanks to a grant provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP).
Beginning on March 7, residents can drop off all colors of glass bottles, jars, and jugs in Moon Township as part of a region-wide glass recycling network. The Glass Recycling Collaborative of Southwestern PA, a newly formed partnership between municipalities in Allegheny County and the Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC), provides reliable, uninterrupted glass recycling access.
“Residents of Moon Township are interested in recycling glass even when it isn’t collected curbside, and we’re excited to provide residents with an opportunity to drop off the glass in a convenient location,” according to Moon Township Public Works Operations Manager John Scott. “With the help of PRC, the borough is installing a permanent glass recycling station and will implement a campaign to educate residents regarding glass recycling and other waste reduction activities.”
The blue recycling dumpster will be located in the Moon Township Public Works Garage lot (1115 Stevenson Mill Road, Moon Township, PA 15108) and will be available for self-serve drop-off Monday through Friday from 7 AM – 3 PM. Individuals can deposit glass bottles, jars, and jugs of all colors (no sorting required). Containers should be empty and rinsed, with lids and labels still on. Bags and boxes used to deliver glass must be discarded off-site.
This permanent recycling site is sponsored by Moon Township and Moon Township Municipal Authority and is made possible through a PA DEP recycling grant held by Dormont Borough. Program partners are CAP Glass and Michael Brothers Hauling & Recycling.
