Recycle Your Glass—Be Part of the Movement

Since glass is 100% recyclable and never loses its value, collecting and repurposing it is built on sustainability and will remain sustainable as long as glass is in use. Recycling glass is also more carbon-friendly than producing new glass, cutting energy use by up to 40%.

Glass Pick Up

Glass Act offers a $25/month 'Yellow Bin' program for residents of Alexandria and Pineville, LA. Throughout the month, families and small businesses place glass in the yellow bin and aluminum/tin in a mesh sack provided with the service. Volunteers make a once-a-month collection run, bringing materials to the center where glass is processed and aluminum/tin are sold to help cover utilities and other operating costs.

quotes
Grandfather shared that his 11-year-old granddaughter, "the next generation," named Ellyott, told him to bring his glass to Glass Act and that he "needed to do this." So, the grandfather says, "I stopped throwing my bottles into the trash and started bringing them to Glass Act."

quotes
When asked what brought you to Glass Act, he said he once had a convenience store that, unfortunately, polluted the earth around it because of a spill of about 1,500 gallons of gasoline. It has haunted Frank since, so he made a vow to try to make amends by recycling and bringing his glass to GA.

I like coming to Glass Act instead of throwing my glass into the garbage can. I like that something is being done with the glass.
