I finally got the opportunity to volunteer again at one of Pennsylvania Resources Council's (PRC's) collection events. This event was one of the Hard to Recycle drop-off opportunities for the communities south of Pittsburgh. It was held at an elementary school, which had a good route for traffic that didn't end up blocking the road.
The event went very smoothly, other than the participant's truck that broke down in line! Luckily, he was still able to drop off his unwanted items for recycling, but he had to call a tow truck to remove his vehicle 😢
I highly recommend volunteering for these types of events. PRC takes good care of volunteers, providing drinks, snacks, and a portable restroom. The participants are friendly and thankful. I was able to volunteer for just the second half of the event, which was convenient for me.
I can't recall any unusual items being dropped off, but I was surprised by how many people dropped off multiple TVs...one person had six!
Here are some pictures from the event:
