Notes
Address, hours, fees and accepted items were read from the Noble Environmental Pittsburgh page that the city's official household-hazardous-waste page tells residents to use for appointments. The city's July 18 and September 12, 2026 community events have already passed and were not added. The city page said more information on curbside collection was coming soon, so a separate pickup listing was not added.
