As recycling policies change, glass may no longer be accepted into single stream systems, but there is still a procedure in place to deal with this valuable material.
An initiative that will keep glass out of landfills will be setting up shop in Hermitage, and it will be open for five days. A project of the Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC), it will offer contactless services to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Many types of glass will be accepted for drop-off, and all colors are welcome. Bottles, jugs, and jars, along with their lids and labels, will be converted into a variety of other products, and anyone who will be taking advantage of this offer is asked to make sure their containers have been emptied and cleaned out. It has been requested that lightbulbs, bake ware, cut glass, ceramics, porcelain TVs, stemware, and mirrors should be disposed of in another way.
The success of an initiative like this often depends upon how well it is marketed to the local community. A poster printing company will be able to help here.
The PRC Travelling Glass Event will be making a stop in Hermitage from April 3 to 8. It will be set up for the public at the City of Hermitage Fire Station Number 3, and it will be open from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm each day.
