WHERE NOTHING GOES TO WASTE
According to The EPA's latest (2008)
report on municipal solid waste (MSW), the U.S. still lags far behind most developed
countries when it comes to glass recycling.
Glass containers discarded in MSW approximates 10.05 million tons per year. It is
estimated to cost taxpayers a whopping $290 million a year to dispose of those glass
containers.
Communities and their taxpayers no longer need to incur the financial cost or cost
to the environment caused by disposing of this waste glass unnecessarily.
