Last years’ PRC grass recycling program collected around 540,000 pounds of glass bottles, jars, and jugs from over 15,000 households.
“The bin visits various locations on a weekly basis from Saturday through Thursday, typically from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and provides residents with a safe method for recycling glass while eliminating the need to interact with other individuals or touch shared surfaces,” according to PRC Recycling Markets Program Manager Ashley DiGregorio.
Residents can drop off bottles, jars, and jugs of all colors and should be rinsed with lids and labels still on.
