Trash collection is arranged by each municipality in Allegheny County, not the county itself. PA Act 101 of 1988 requires municipalities with populations over 10000 to provide weekly curbside collection and recycling.
Under the PA Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101 of 1988, 53 P.S. 4000.101 et seq.), mandated municipalities must offer weekly refuse collection. Pittsburgh collects once weekly by ward schedule; suburban municipalities contract with Waste Management, Republic Services, or local haulers. Set-out times typically 6 AM day-of or after 6 PM evening before. Allegheny County Health Department Article XX regulates solid waste storage and requires covered, verminproof containers.
Violations of Article XX range from warnings to fines up to 1000 dollars per day. Municipal trash ordinance violations typically 25 to 300 dollars per occurrence.
