LET’S RECYCLE RIGHT
Did you know that Vogel Disposal Service does not recycle glass, plastic packaging or used batteries? Or, even if you knew, you probably don’t have the time to take them to different collection centers. That’s where Green Bridge 412 comes in. We collect hard-to-recycle items like plastic packaging, glass and used batteries from your home and deposit them with specific re-use programs. Started by a local high school student in 2023 as a community service initiative, Green Bridge 412 makes it easy for you to get rid of these items in responsible ways. All you need to do is to separate them from your trash and we’ll do the rest.
CLOSING THE GAP IN 3 EASY STEPS
WHY WE COLLECT
Regular trash services do not recycle plastic packaging, glass or used batteries
If not taken to the right recycling centers, they end up in our landfills
Plastic packaging jams recycling machines, crushed glass ruins cardboard, and batteries leach harmful chemicals into our ecosystem— which is why most trash collection companies do not collect them. Green Bridge 412 takes these items to dedicated repurposing centers for you. Together, we prevent non-biodegradable waste from filling landfills, conserve natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions—taking meaningful steps to protect our planet.
WHERE WE DROP OFF
Making our community more sustainable
We deposit glass with Fox Chapel Borough, plastic materials with Giant Eagle and used batteries with retailers like Staples
Green Bridge 412 delivers your household glass to Fox Chapel Borough's collection center, where Carry All Products repurposes it—generating grants that fund essential borough operations. We take accepted plastic packaging to Giant Eagle collection centers, where Trex transforms them into eco-friendly outdoor products. Despite Allegheny County phasing out single-use bags, numerous plastic materials in our homes can still be repurposed. We also drop off your used household batteries at retailer collection points like Staples and Home Depot
