glass recycling collection
Send a link to a friend
[August 06, 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 on
Saturday at the Logan County Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. to noon. People
bringing in glass are to 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 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
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, 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.
