The City of Pittsburgh has shared its 2026 recycling information for residents.
Electronic Waste and Household Hazardous Waste
The city will contract a new vendor, Noble Environmental, to handle electronic waste and household hazardous waste disposal.
Residents can choose from weekly drop-offs, curbside pickups and community events to dispose of e-waste and HHW. Pre-registration is required for each option and can be done online at NobleEnviro.com/Pittsburgh or by calling 412-567-6566.
Residents will be responsible for a disposal fee. Cash and checks will no longer be accepted.

Residents can recycle certain materials at the curb or at drop-off sites. Those materials include:
- Plastic jugs, jars, bottles and tubs
- Glass bottles, jugs and jars
- Steel, aluminum and empty aerosol cans
- Flattened cardboard
- Mixed paper, such as junk mail, magazines, office paper, newspaper, paperboard and books
Residents can also recycle waste, tires and scrap metal at the Department of Public Works’ 2nd, 3rd and 5th Divisions’ drop-off locations.
