We extend our gratitude to Colcom Foundation for their support of Allegheny CleanWays. With Colcom’s generous assistance, we’ve been able to maintain an updated fleet of work vehicles and boats essential for our crucial work in safeguarding and restoring our waterways as well as remediating illegal dumpsites all across our community. Colcom’s commitment to environmental conservation and their partnership in Allegheny CleanWays’ endeavor to combat littering creates a cleaner and safer Allegheny County.
Pennsylvania Resources Council protects local resources for future generations through environmental education, recycling, anti-litter campaigns, and more.
Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) envisions a Pennsylvania where nothing is wasted, where every resource is utilized effectively. Through education and direct services, PRC actively empowers residents of Southwestern PA to minimize their environmental footprint by reducing waste generation. The invaluable support from Colcom Foundation has played a pivotal role in sustaining and expanding our waste reduction and diversion efforts for over a decade. Thanks to Colcom’s funding, we have successfully diverted over 3 million pounds of materials from local landfills in 2023 alone. Over the last decade, with Colcom’s unwavering support, our recycling and composting initiatives have diverted a remarkable 14 million pounds, significantly contributing to a more sustainable future.
