Send a link to a friend

[July 01, 2010]  The Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency, in collaboration with the Lincoln Junior Woman's Club and Saint-Gobain Containers, will have its monthly glass collection July 10 at the Logan County Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. to noon. The public should use the Main Gate entrance.

The collection will be canceled in event of inclement weather.

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

Participants are asked to thoroughly rinse all containers and to 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.

Glass is not to be left at the site prior to the hours of the collection.

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

The glass recycling program does not accept light bulbs, 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 by contacting the office at 217-732-9636 or visiting www.co.logan.il.us -- select "Joint Solid Waste Agency."
