REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE
Glass Bottles and Jars
In our recycling program for glass, we collect only bottles and jars. When other glass items such as window pane glass, drinking glasses, light bulbs, ceramics & china are mixed in with the bottles and jars, our load of glass becomes contaminated and thus not reusable. If we cannot reuse the materials then we have defeated the purpose of recycling.
♦ Please rinse bottles and jars to remove any food residue left in the container
♦ Please remove lids from bottle and jars
♦ You do not have to remove labels from glass containers
SHARE SHED
The Share Shed is available to drop off any item the you feel can be recycled by others. This is free to everyone.
