    Glass bottles and jars

    AZ is not a deposit state. But I found a place that pays 5 cents a pound for it. Much better than giving it to the city for there recycling program that they charge a monthly fee of $17.12!

    Hello everyone;;;

    I would do a Goggle search on clesr glass recycling and see what comes up ,, you might have to change the wording to get what you are looking for;;

    There are thousands of plases that take glass jars and any CLEAN clear glass ;;;,,.,

    It thkes less than half of the energy to use OLD glass to reform it as to using NEW sand to make GLASS...

    There is a major GLASS recycler here in the U.S.A. they are in several states and very large ,,,, I willl have to try and find that info again .... or do an goggle on CRT recycling as they do have one plant that recycles CRT tubes.

    Here is a decent place to search for recycling centers. You can also list your company there also for free. Looks decent to me.
