New Requirements for Glass Recycling at Transfer Station - Only Glass Bottles and Jars, with Covers Removed

Effective immediately, the Town is required to ensure the glass recycling bin at the Transfer Station contains only glass bottles and jars, with the covers removed.  Any color glass permitted.  Porcelain, window glass and any other items that had been allowed in the past are no longer permitted.  This change results from new requirements that will allow the Town to dispose of the glass on more favorable terms as the material will be used in processing fiberglass insulation and new glass cullet.

As the recycling market continues to evolve, we need to remain flexible in order to run our Transfer Station in a cost-effective manner.  We greatly appreciate the effort of our residents to assist us with these changes.
