All municipalities should be prohibited from dumping glass in lanfills, or incinerators. Instead:
1. Buy glass crushers and have your Dept of Public Works use as road base material. It's quartz!
2. Add crushed glass to asphalt used for paving road sholders. Sparkle at night so drivers can see outline of road in rural areas that don't have street lights.
3. Have Departments of Economic Development seek out glass recycling industries by giving them tax abatements, like NY did. This new company accepts glass from all municipal governments and melts the glass to create insulation! !

Please do NOT throw away your mascara wands. Instead, clean JUST THE WAND with dawn soap, place them in a ziploc bag and mail them to a Wildlife Refuge accepting donations. These little wands are able to be upcycled to clean away oil, larvae, fly eggs, mites, infections, mud and other contaminants from wildlife. Works great for medical care and wound treatment

Pick your refuge to mail to:

Appalachian Wild
P.O. Box 1211
Skyland NC 28776

OR

Wildlife Wands
P.O. Box 1586
Southwick, MA 01077.

For anyone in CO this company is awesome and has numerous sites to drop your glass off at! http://www.clearintentions.glass/

our town grinds the glass up and uses as fill for projects like sewer lines (so they say)not maybe ideal but the cost of transporting glass to a major city is more than the glass is worth.

I agree that it's a waste of time & energy to drive to a recycling center and have to separate glass by color. With our advanced technology this should be a no brainer.!!!
