Free Trash Cans, Hills To Die On & New Owners for U.S. Steel

Nippon Steel is paying $14.9 billion for Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel, so what does that mean for the company that helped build the Burgh? Penn Hills is getting new free trash cans, and not everyone is thrilled about it. And we’ve got a few ways to help your neighbors this holiday season. 

Plus, we want to hear from you about what Yinzer hill you’d be willing to die on. Call or text us at 412-212-8893.
