Recycling glass in my state
9 years ago
Somethin' tells me good things are comin'... is so so so HARDDDD.
For some dumb reason we don't have many places that will recycle glass?
It really doesn't make sense to me.
When I spent time in Belgium, they had to separate all of their trash
like ALL OF IT.
They had to put their paper and cardboard in a bag and set it out.
They had to put all their plastics in a bag and set it out.
They put all their glass (this one was optional) in a bag and set it out
OR they could go down the street and put all their dark bottles in the green dome
and all their clear bottles in the white dome.
OR!!
If we bought a case of beer at the grocery store, we could just take it back and put it through a machine which would scan it and we would get money back immediately for it.
Then they had their regular trash that they would put in a bag and put on the curb and it would be taken away, whatever.
However, they get fined if there's any plastic or cardboard or glass in that bag....
Why can't we have a system like that here??
This country is so big and has so much waste, and is supposedly SO WORRIED about 'global warming' or whatever...
you'd think we would have more environmentally friendly ways to deal with waste??
But we don't....
It really irks me....
