Hampton hosting glass recycling event

Residents who no longer have glass picked up at the curb as part of their municipality’s recycling program can make sure it stays out of a landfill by dropping it off at a weeklong glass collection event in Hampton.

Between Jan. 30 and Feb. 4, glass bottles, jars and jugs of all colors can be dropped off in the Hampton Swimming Pool parking lot at 3101 McCully Road.

The event is open to residents of any community that does not offer curbside glass recycling and people who want to ensure the glass they discard is recycled instead of being sent to a landfill.

Glass containers should be empty and rinsed with the lids and labels left on. Bags and boxes used to transport the glass must be discarded off site.

The traveling recycling bin program is conducted by the Pennsylvania Resource Council with sponsorship from Owens-Illinois and CAP Glass, which uses the glass to make new bottles, jars and other products.
