E-waste includes televisions, computers, monitors, VCR’s, DVD players, printers, fax machines, cable boxes, keyboards and similar electronic waste. Please understand you cannot put this E-waste out with your regular garbage. If you are a Penn Hills resident you must call 724-887-9400 or email e-wasteph@republicservices.com to arrange for collection. You will then be asked to describe the items you wish to have collected. Residents will then be told when and where on their property the E-waste will be collected. A separate truck and crew will make the pick-up and it will not be on your regular trash day.
So please people use this service and follow the rules. Do not put out the E-waste and say you did not know you had to make a phone call or send an email. I often see TV’s and computers sitting at the curb for weeks. We should all know by now that you cannot put that type of item at the curb. There are very few places to get rid of E-waste and to now have a service that will come to your home and do it for free is amazing. And by the way there will be a limit of two televisions and/or computers monitors during each collection. So just in case you were going to make your house the “drop spot” for all of your friends outside of Penn Hills don’t do it. Your yard will look like Fred Sanford’s’ house. Let’s not mess up a good thing.
Also on today’s list mark your calendars for the annual BASH luncheon on April 2, at the Doubletree by Hilton Meadowlands tickets are $40 www.bashforwomen.com.
Last thing the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History is free Thursday evenings in March. Go!
