Heather Rush 5/18/2019 1:35 PMI hate the we cant recycle glass in our recycle bin. frustrating.-
Jeanne Poirier 5/18/2019 7:44 PMWhen they shut down glass recycling years ago in Cashmere, I was told "It's the economics ma'am". Glass can be recycled forever too - I took a Master recycling class YEARS ago when in Portland. Was grateful the high school in Manson took this on and fund-raised for glass crushing machine. It was at Chelan Earth day fair this year - smoother than beach sand. Just wish we could get the final product locally vs. Chelan Ace Hardware - and I'd pay the same for 25# vs.50# - cheap! -
