Send a link to a friend
[August 08, 2013]
The Logan County Joint Solid
Waste Agency, in collaboration with the Lincoln Woman's Club and
Verallia Saint-Gobain Containers, will handle the monthly glass
collection on Saturday at the Logan County Fairgrounds between 9
a.m. and noon. People bringing in glass for recycling should use the
Main Gate entrance.

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 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.

of the collection.
