Loaner Program
Westmoreland Cleanways operates a FREE ClearStream Recyclers Loaner Program for use at public events in Westmoreland County, such as Greensburg’s SummerSounds, Westmoreland Arts & Heritage Festival, Latrobe Relay for Life, Scottdale Fall Festival, and the Latrobe-Derry Teener League. These bins can also be borrowed for use at private parties such as outdoor weddings, family reunions and graduation parties.
- ClearStreams are easy to set up and service.
- Folding frames and nesting lids make ClearStreams easy to store and transport.
- Lids snap securely onto the frame at four points.
- A patented baglock system, secures the bag to the frame.
- The 45 gallon clear bags are easily emptied without vertical lifting, reducing the risk of back injuries.
- The clear bags allow staff to see from a distance when a bin needs servicing, preventing overflows and helping security to monitor the contents of the container.
Participants may borrow as many containers and bags as needed for use at the event. Recyclers are loaned on a first come-first served basis.
Please note: In 2019, recycling companies began to crack down on plastic bags into recycling bins. This creates a dilemma because plastic bags are an integral part of the ClearStream Recycler collection system. Westmoreland Cleanways strongly urges users to empty the bags of recyclables loose into the larger recycling container, and either re-use the plastic bag or recycle it along with the rest of your grocery bags.
Participants agree to:
- Call the office at 724-879-4020 or email our Program Director to check on bin availability and to make a reservation.
- Complete the Clearstream Borrower’s Agreement prior to bin pick up.
- Pick up and return loaner bins from Westmoreland Cleanways Recycling Center, 355 Pleasant Unity Mutual Road, Greensburg, PA 15601
- Report the number of bags of recyclables collected at the event.
- Recycle the material: 1) hire a private hauler to collect the recycling; or, 2) self-haul recyclables to a drop-off or processing center. Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling can offer assistance but cannot guarantee arrangements.
- Reimburse Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling for the replacement cost of the loaner bin should container be damaged or not returned. Replacement costs can be found on the Borrower’s Agreement form.
