Hurrah for Glass Recycling!

Glass recycling containers are now available at the park and ride lot on Mommsen street, behind the Shell Station. This is for glass only, nothing else.

Why recycle glass?

• Glass never wears out -- it can be recycled forever.
• We save over a ton of resources for every ton of glass recycled -- 1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar.
• Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass.
• Recycling one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours.
