Introduction
Overview
Pierce County accepts glass recycling
via municipal collection sites located
around the county.
Hauling glass to these locations is
cumbersome and may lead to glass
being thrown away, destined for a
landfill.
Pierce County suggests recycling via
collection sites or throwing glass in
the trash.
Overview
The cost of recycling glass curbside
is slightly higher than normal
recycling.
Seattle accepts glass curbside and
stands by its impact on the
environment.
Suggestion: Incorporate glass pickup
curbside, with possibility of recycling
rates going up slightly per capita to
reduce impact on the environment.
