Pittsburgh isn’t just one of the most affordable places to live in the country, it’s also a city composed of citizens that live to love and take care of it. Often times this shines in the form of Pgh arts and the fact that our economy is flourishing with the many Pgh jobs. Other times it shines through our efforts to ‘go green’. In the past we’ve talked about Pittsburgh’s endeavor to go green--the new PNC building, the bike share program--and while it’s important that the city of Pittsburgh as a whole does its part in lowering its carbon footprint, it’s also important on an individual level.
The city of Pittsburgh’s recycling program is designed to make recycling easy for its citizens. With bi-weekly residential pickups, Pittsburghers are asked to separate their recyclables from their trash, using blue bags to symbolize recycling. And for those who do not have curbside recycling available within their Pittsburgh neighborhood, drop off centers are conveniently located around the city to make recycling simple.
