Glass

The only thing I have left on my list this month is glass recycling.  I found an old trash can sitting around that I have designated the glass bin in the garage.  I haven't found a place near me that recycles glass so I've come up with a few alternatives for now.  We see my parents every few weeks and they have offered to take it to their house and I have a lot of friends who have offered their bins as well.  Another option is to take it to Whole Foods when we are down that way.

I've asked friends who live in neighborhoods just around the corner from me and they all seem to have glass recycling, mostly single stream recycling, so I don't see why my neighborhood can't do it too.  I talked to the waste company we use and they outsource the recycling (to a company who are under contract).  So it seems that my neighborhood would have to switch trash collection companies if we want glass recycling.  I don't know if it is even possible with all the contracts and bureaucracy but I have the number to the head honcho. I've called a couple of times but haven't heard back from him yet.  My kids start school in a few weeks so I'll have more time to bother him then :)
