Glass Recycling 

You might be wondering why glass isn’t accepted in our local recycling program. Here’s why:

• Transportation Challenges –Without a nearby glass recycling facility, glass is heavy and costly to transport, making it inefficient for recycling programs in smaller cities.
• Contamination aqnd Safety Risks – Broken glass contaminates other recyclables, making sorting difficult and posing safety risks to workers.

What Can You Do?

• Reuse glass jars for storage or DIY projects.
• Reduce by choosing products with recyclable or reusable packaging.
• Dispose of Safely – Glass should go in the regular garbage bin to prevent harm.

While glass recycling isn’t an option locally, making mindful choices helps reduce waste!
