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 recycling program will no longer accept broken glass due to
safety issues. 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 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 does not accept light bulbs or
florescent 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 the agency website at
www.co.logan.il.us -–
select "Joint Solid Waste
Agency."
