It’s trash day on City Cast Pittsburgh! Starting this year, you can get fined if you don’t follow the city’s trash and recycling rules, so we’re reviewing the basics and explaining what’s new. Plus, we’re sharing where you can take hard-to-recycle items like batteries and old phones and walking through some of the more surprising items you can donate. (Did you know you can bring your old glasses to the Lion’s Club?)

We’re doing a survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast City swag.
