Penn Hills Trash Crisis Update | Pittsburgh News
About this episode
Penn Hills residents are facing a trash crisis as delays in pickup lead to frustration and pest issues.
Penn Hills residents are furious as trash piles up for weeks, forcing many to haul bins down steep hills only to be ignored — attracting raccoons and turning neighborhoods into pest havens. The mayor and acting municipal manager confirm Republic Services is struggling with staffing, but they’re now extending hours and promising to catch up, with some streets cleared first thing Tuesday. A new hotline lets you check your specific pickup status — and they’re aiming to fix everything by end of day Tuesday.
