Pittsburgh Public Safety and Animal Care and Control would like to remind everyone that from early November until early December it is mating season for white-t...ailed deer. Males are more aggressive than usual as they compete for a mate. If you’re driving, be extra cautious in scanning the road as deer are on the move in search of mates. Additional tips: Never approach a male deer during rutting season. Testosterone levels are high and males are looking to spar with each other to assert their dominance. You can take a few precautions by covering any large reflective picture windows or glass doors. Bucks see their reflection and think it’s time to spar with the competition. They have been known to run at their reflection and break through the glass in an attempt to do so.

Public Works and Clean Pittsburgh Commission Offer Campaign Sign Recycling PITTSBURGH, PA (November 3, 2020) With election season is coming to an end the Department of Public Works, in conjunction with the Clean Pittsburgh Commission, recently announced an opportunity for residents to take their civic engagement to the next level by recycling their campaign yard signs after this year’s general election. Drop off locations will be available at three Department of Public Works ...Divisions across the City of Pittsburgh. Drop offs will be accessible Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. 2 p.m. and will run from November 4th through December 4th. Both the plastic film and the metal stands that make up election campaign signs are recyclable. Participants must sperate the materials before dropping off at one of the City’s Division locations Part of a community group interested in organizing a local pickup for signs? Visit this registration link to register today: https://pittsburghpa.gov//volunt/volunteer-form/index.html. It is hard to drive on any street and not notice at least one campaign sign, said Omoye Aikhuele, City of Pittsburgh Recycling Specialist and member of the Clean Pittsburgh Commission. These signs cannot be collected through the curbside recycling program, and unfortunately, most of them will end up at the landfill or as litter. Offering drop off locations will minimize waste and allow us to capture these materials; both of which can be recycled through special programs. Three Department of Public Works Division Drop-Off Centers will be available from 6 a.m 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. They are: East End Drop-Off Center 2nd Division of Public Works 6814 Hamilton Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15208 412-665-3609 Hazelwood Drop-Off Center 3rd Division of Public Works 40 Melanchton St., Pittsburgh, PA 15207 412-422-6524 West End Drop-Off Center 5th Division of Public Works 1330 Hassler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15220 412-937-3054 Residents can visit https://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/yard-sign-recycling for more information.
