The events, held in partnership with the Allegheny County Health Department, will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the following dates:

• Saturday, Aug. 12, at Woodland Hills High School, 2550 Greensburg Pike, Churchill

There is a per-item fee (between $2 and $40) to recycle televisions, computer monitors, printers, fluorescent bulbs, small Freon appliances and tires (with and without rims).

A price list and registration information can be found here. Registration may also be made by calling: 412-488-7490.

Those not paying a per-item fee for disposal of materials listed above will pay a $5 participant fee for unlimited disposal of cell/home phones, computer towers and peripheral equipment (keyboards, laptops, mice, etc.), expanded polystyrene packaging material, microwave ovens and video game consoles/DVD players.
