    So far, yes - but there's talk that it will be discontinued! :(

    No longer able to recycle glass containers, but seldom to never buy products in glass anymore. Not sure what the reason was that they stopped accepting glass in the provided bags even.

    I never realized how my recycling center sorts the material! Pretty cool!

    Target stores have a glass recycling bin! My hauler stopped accepting glass and I'm so glad I found this substitute. I sometimes shop at Target so I just need to remember to bring my glass bottles like I do my reusable shopping bags.
