A WORD ABOUT BROKEN GLASS
Although glass is crushed during the recycling process, broken glass should never be placed recycling containers. Broken glass poses a safety hazard for hauler, worker at the recycling facility, and to you. Broken glass is also difficult to sort due to the small and varying sizes of each piece. Please do not try to recycle broken glass.
