Welcome to our Recycling Updates page.

Westmoreland Cleanways publishes a Recycling Guide containing listings of all curbside and dropoff recycling programs and information on other recycling opportunities available to residents and businesses in Westmoreland County.

With all of the many changes that have occurred recently regarding the collapse of the recycling commodities markets, we have listed additional recycling resources that would not be in our 2008 Recycling Guide. We hope these additions are helpful.

If you have any questions, or know of additional resources not listed here, please contact our office at (724) 836-4129.
