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.

What Pennsylvania Resources Council (Eastern Office) Accepts

✓ Electronics / e-waste (computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, phones, routers, DVD/VCR players, stereo equipment) (Collected at scheduled PRC e-waste events; register in advance via PRC calendar.)
✓ Household chemicals (HHW) (Collected at scheduled Household Chemical Collection events.)
✓ Hard-to-recycle items (Collected at scheduled PRC hard-to-recycle events.)
