Missing a Recycling Bin?
The City of Pittsburgh has recently wrapped up a program to distribute 100,000+ blue recycling bins to residents and became bag free in 2024. The city distributed 32-gallon blue bins with a lid to all city residents who are serviced by Environmental Services. If you think your home has been missed or if your bin is stolen/cracked, please call 311 to put in a ticket.
Please keep in mind this effort was a one-time initiative that was grant funded with enough resources only to distribute one blue bin per household that Environmental Services collects recyclables from. If more than one bin is needed or the original bin was not kept with the address, residents are required to supply their own blue bin, clearly marked for recycling and not in excess of 35 gallons.
