=90 Wednesday, November 25, 1992 @ ee Time to recycle glass jars [™™==snoNs mont NOVEMBER 25 wig Martin Meyer RECYCLING ADVISORY GROUP Glass — most of us use a lot of it in our daily lives. It’s all around us and used for many purposes. Unfortu- nately, much of it is discarded after only one use. When we throw away good used glass we are not only adding to the rate at which our community landfills are being filled up; but thrown away glass also represents thrown away energy and resources. For many years we've seen beer and pop bottle return col- lection schemes function suc- cessfully. These systems were established to help control lit- ter and have become a very ac- cepted part of our culture. Why, then, could we not have similar return programs for other types of glass con- tainers? Wouldn't it be great if we could bring our pickle jars and salad dressing bottles back to the store so they could be washed and reused? Wouldn’t it be wonderful it re Recycling and You the government liquor stores took back used wine and liquor bottles so they could be reused? What about old coffee jars, soya sauce bottles and mayon- naise jars? It’s really unfortunate that there are few opportunities to re-use the glass containers we buy. However, we can still help to reduce the amount of glass that ends up in our landfills. We can remind retailers and to see more products sold in reusable containers. We can also recycle the glass we use: Recycled glass may be dropped at the Regional Dis- trict of Central Kootenay Re- cycles depot in Nelson, or at the Slocan Valley drop-off lo- cation, or at the Rossland de- t. Glass must be clean —re- move lids and neck rings from bottles. . If possible, remove paper la- bels. Separate the glass by color: green, brown and clear. It is important to avoid mixing col- ors. Put sorted glass into bags or boxes for convenience of handling. Certain types of glass are not recyclable at the present time. The list includes window glass, mirrors, drinking glass- es, pyrex, frosted and orna- ment glass, and cosmetics con- tainers. Also not acceptable are- e Sweden - Swedish Meat Balls « France — Chicken Veronique « Denmark — Hot Ham Pr Rolls, Veg.
