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. The glass recycling program does
not accept broken glass due to safety issues.Participants are
asked to thoroughly rinse all containers and to remove all plastic
or metal lids, sleeves, and rings. Labels, either foil or paper, may
be left on the containers. Due to the large volume of glass being
collected, the 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.
Glass is not to be left at the site prior to the hours of the
collection. The collection will be canceled in event of inclement
weather.
Information on the county's recycling programs is available
