I was so happy to learn that a Ripple Glass recycling container was going in near us – this one’s in the Gomer’s parking lot, 99th & Holmes. When I was in Gomer’s a couple weeks ago, one of the employees told me it had been there a short time and was already half full! I’ve got a container now in the garage for collecting our own glass, and am most impressed by the consortium of businesses that came together to make it happen – as someone who’s acutely aware of marketing and how it’s amassed, created and presented, I give this one two thumbs up. The corporate sponsors have their logos on the container, and it’s a brilliant initiative spearheaded by Boulevard Brewing. Check out the site & start recycling!
What did you do with your glass before this?
it went into the trash. The city wouldn’t recycle it with the other stuff, saying it posed a hazard to collection workers. Having lived in Mpls, where recycling has been around forever, it drove me nuts. This isn’t as convenient as curbside, but it’s a huge improvement!
