Pennsylvania Resources Council
Recycling Center in Media, Pennsylvania
About This Location
The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) keeps its eastern headquarters at Rose Tree Park in Media, serving Delaware County and southeastern PA. Rather than a daily walk-in drop-off, PRC runs scheduled collection events for materials most curbside programs reject, including electronics (e-waste), household chemicals, and other hard-to-recycle items. Residents typically register in advance for these events through PRC's calendar. If you have old computers, TVs, or household chemicals, PRC's events are a reliable, properly-run option rather than curbside.
