RECYCLE RIGHT: UNDERSTANDING WHY GLASS CAN'T GO IN COMMINGLED RECYCLING CART

The good news? Glass jars and bottles used for food (like pickles, jam and spaghetti sauce) and beverages (like b**r and w**e) are 100% recyclable. According to the nonprofit Recycle Across America, when recycled properly, glass can be recycled indefinitely without degrading its quality. What’s more, the Glass Packaging Institute says that recycled glass provides 95% of the materials needed to make new glass.

The bad news? In order for any of that to work, glass must be kept completely out of the curbside recycling stream. If it’s mixed in with other recyclable materials, not only will the glass end up in the landfill, but the other recyclables will too.

Please do not put these items in your Recycling Cart.
Remeber, when in doubt....throw it out

To-go coffee cups and other to-go food containers are not accepted in recycling programs, because they are coated with plastic or wax that makes it difficult to separate from paper in the recycling process. These items should be put in the garbage! Instead, reusable coffee mugs and water bottles are a great low-waste option.
