Send a link to a friend

[August 31, 2012]  The Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency, in collaboration with the Lincoln Woman's Club and Verallia Saint-Gobain Containers, will have its monthly glass collection next Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Logan County Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. to noon. Participants should use the Main Gate entrance.

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. On Facebook, like Logan County Joint Solid Waste Agency to access current information, updates and cancellation notices.

Participants in the recycling 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 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 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.
