sadly that is the case. Here we are in an unincorporated part of the county so have to contract for trash/recycling. There are 4 separate companies coming in. Two don’t offer recycling. One says they recycle but dump it all. We are with the one that recycles. Sometimes there is no market for goods which is why they don’t take glass anymore. There is a recycling center a short drive. It is commercial so they do recycle. They have a drop off for lots of things and I bring the glass there. I also collect it from someone else in another county which doesn’t take glass. It is a tiny part and maybe insignificant but as long as I can do even that part I will.
