Glass

Later this month, county residents will no longer be able to recycle glass at the county’s convenience centers due to an unforeseen contract change.

DTSC found that Strategic Materials mismanaged batteries mixed in with the glass sorted from curbside recycling.

While residents can no longer recycle glass curbside, they do have the option to recycle their glass at local drop-off sites.

Ripple Glass is implementing EOW’s Blockchain Waste Traceability Software to improve glass recycling rates.

ASTRX is a joint project of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition and The Recycling Partnership.

Rumpke broke ground on the project in September 2017 and moved into the new offices on January 14.

SWMD purchased roll-off containers and a truck to rebuild the glass collection program at its materials recovery facility.
