Registration will open for each event one month in advance. “Again this year PRC is integrating procedures including advance registration and on-site logistics to reduce the number of interactions occurring between event participants and staff to promote safety,” according to Shea. “To streamline the process at our events, we’re asking participants to wear face coverings and stay in their vehicles while the contractor unloads the materials. When preparing to attend one of these collections, participants should place all materials in their car trunks or truck beds.” HOUSEHOLD CHEMICAL COLLECTIONS LAUNCH Saturday, April 17, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena surface parking lots, Allegheny County Individuals can drop off automotive fluids, household cleaners, pesticides, paints and other household chemicals.
