ISO Chef’s Knives and Cutting Boards
by Sofia Sunseri 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

I’m helping to build a kitchen from scratch for students at a new local high school. We are needing chef’s knives and cutting boards. If you happen to be in a “cleaning out” and “lightening your load” state of mind in regards to your kitchen and have an extra chef’s knife or two and a cutting board - I’d be more than happy to buy them from you.

City Announces Matching Funds from Recycling Partnership for Blue Recycling Bins
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

*Published:* 11.18.2019 *Contact:* Timothy McNulty Communications Director Mayor 412-660-1999 timothy.mcnulty(a)pittsburghpa.gov City Announces Matching Funds from Recycling Partnership for Blue Recycling Bins PITTSBURGH, PA (November 18, 2019) Based on the City of Pittsburgh’s zero-waste goals and the City’s commitment to help residents transition to a containerized recycling system, The Recycling Partnership <https://recyclingpartnership.org/> is offering Pittsburgh a grant of $500,000 for Pittsburgh’s curbside residential recycling program. Earlier this year, Mayor William Peduto announced a Capital Budget proposal <https://pittsburghpa.gov/press-releases/press-releases.html?id=3067> to fund blue bins city-wide for residents who receive service from the Bureau of Environmental Services. Today, the Mayor announced an agreement with the national nonprofit the Recycling Partnership to match the city’s 2020 Capital Budget proposal to begin the three year program to purchase and deploy recycling containers city-wide. The Recycling Partnership invests in community recycling programs nationwide and will be providing in-kind technical assistance for Pittsburgh as well as helping with education and outreach. “The Partnership is excited to respond to Mayor Peduto’s plan to help Pittsburgh transition away from a bag-based recycling program into a containerized one by offering to match the Mayor’s proposed investment dollar for dollar. By putting this grant funding on the table, The Recycling Partnership will boost the city’s ability to transition away from bags and move towards a more efficient and effective recycling program,” said Rob Taylor, Director of Grants and Community Development at The Recycling Partnership. “A move away from blue bags is a perfect complement to the city’s ‘Better Recycling, Better Burgh’ effort to encourage citizens to adopt bins and recycle properly.” Distribution details, vendor selection, and a tracking system have not been finalized, but interested residents can sign up for updates as the city determines the program at the following link: https://pittsburghpa.gov/blue-bin-info/ or contact 311 by phone at 412-255-2621. This initiative will expand on Pennsylvania Resources Council’s initiative that has provided Pittsburgh residents with over 10,000 blue bins and recycling education since 2015. Recyclables placed loosely in blue containers are ideal for Environmental Services workers to collect. Using blue bags tends to clog machinery when processed at the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) run by Recycle Source in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Environmental Services collects waste and recycling from 115,630 residences inside Pittsburgh’s city limits. As a reminder the following recyclables are accepted for single-stream curbside collection by the city: Cardboard, flattened and bundled Glass bottles jugs and jars, caps and lids removed Aluminum and steel cans Mixed paper Empty plastic bottles, jugs and jars, caps and lids removed Pittsburgh’s Better Recycling Information Card <https://cityofpittsburgh.sharepoint.com/sites/619/Shared%20Documents/Forms/…> Limited on space and have additional recyclables in between recycling weeks? Consider using one of our six recycling drop-off centers. For location and hours visit: https://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/drop-off *About The Recycling Partnership* The Recycling Partnership (recyclingpartnership.org) is a national nonprofit organization that leverages corporate partner funding to transform recycling for good in states, cities and communities all across America. As the only organization in the country that engages the full recycling supply chain from the corporations that manufacture products and packaging to local governments charged with recycling to industry end markets, haulers, material recovery facilities, and converters; The Recycling Partnership positively impacts recycling at every step in the process. The Recycling Partnership has served more than 1,300 communities and counting with best-in-class tools, data, resources and technical support, helped place 600,000 recycling carts, reached 60 million American households, and helped companies and communities invest more than $43 million in recycling infrastructure. In doing so, The Recycling Partnership has created meaningful social, environmental, and economic change. By the end of 2019, the nonprofit change agent estimates it will have diverted 230 million pounds of new recyclables, saved 465 million gallons of water, avoided 250,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases, and driven significant reductions in targeted contamination rates. ------------------------------ .

Snow Angels Registration!
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Snow Angels registration is now open! The City of Pittsburgh’s Snow Angels Program pairs older residents and residents with disabilities with nearby neighbors who volunteer to assist them with snow removal on their sidewalks and walkways. Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a snowfall or freeze, Snow Angels make our sidewalks safer for those who are outside during the winter weather – like postal carriers, firefighters, and other neighbors. * In order to request help from a Snow Angel, applicants must: - Be at least 60 years old or have a physical disability - Live within City of Pittsburgh limits - Lack other resources (financial or family/friends nearby) to assist with snow removal Community-based organizations are encouraged to assist with volunteer recruitment in their communities by having volunteers mention the organization’s name when they register. The organization that recruits the most volunteers will win the 2019-2020 Golden Shovel award! Volunteers and neighbors in need can register for the program online at https://pittsburghpa.gov/snowangels/ <https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpittsburg…> or by calling the City’s 311 Response Center. If any of your residents need help registering, please direct them to our office at 412-255-2140 or district7(a)pittsburghpa.gov <district7(a)pittsburghpa.gov>. For more information or to find out more about how to help with volunteer recruitment, contact the Snow Angels Program at snowangels(a)pittsburghpa.gov <snowangels(a)pittsburghpa.gov> or 412-255-0846 Best + kind regards, Magda Magda Gangwar Councilwoman Deborah L.
