Monthly glass collection notice

Send a link to a friend

[July 06, 2009]  The Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency, in collaboration with the Lincoln Junior Woman's Club, Saint-Gobain Containers and Wal-Mart, will hold its monthly glass collection on Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon, in the parking lot of the Lincoln Wal-Mart Supercenter.

The collection will be canceled in the event of rain.

Participants are reminded that only container glass will be accepted during the collection. Container glass is any glass that was used to hold either a food or beverage product. All colors of glass will be accepted.

The glass recycling program will no longer accept broken glass due to safety issues.

Participants are asked to thoroughly rinse all containers and remove all plastic or metal lids and rings. Labels, either foil or paper, may be left on the containers. Due to the large volume of glass being collected, the glass recycling program reserves the right to refuse any glass that does not meet the preparation guidelines.

The glass recycling program does not accept light bulbs or fluorescent lights, window glass, mirrors, ceramics, dishware, or CorningWare items. Participants are asked to comply with the glass collection guidelines, as a single piece of ceramic material or a light bulb can contaminate an entire load of glass.

Information on the county's recycling programs is available through the Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency. Logan County residents can contact the agency's office at 217-732-9636 with recycling questions.
