The PA Resources Council, wants to thank those of you who helped make the 2013 Household Chemical & Pharmaceutical Collections season a whopping success!   PRC truly appreciates your participation, interest, input and if you volunteered, your dedication and perseverance in less than ideal weather conditions.

Not only did we attract more participants this year than ever, but we also collected over 60,000 more pounds of material than any other year of the program dating back to 2003. It demonstrates how important and needed this program is to help ensure the health and environmental well-being of western Pennsylvania residents.

Following is a short recap of activities:

-- Total participants - 5,271;

-- Household chemicals collected - 366,995 lbs.;

-- Pharmaceutical waste collected - 2,146 lbs.; and

-- Total waste collected - 369,141 lbs.

Be on the lookout for the 2014 schedule which will be posted here. For sponsorship, volunteer or other information please contact Michael Stepaniak at 412-488-7452 or send email to: michaels@ccicenter.org. Thanks again for a great 2013!
