Going Green With Glass
KSFY reports that Sioux Falls, S.D. will begin offering glass recycling to residents starting on January 1 after 63 percent of respondents to a summer poll said they would recycle glass if they had the option.
According to Millenium Recycling, the plant that will be providing glass recycling in 2008, the primary reason glass wasn’t recycled before is because of the costs involved. The center will be installing new machines to handle the demand of glass recycling for the city.
Sioux Falls already provides the service to recycle plastic, metal and most paper, and in fact residents are required to recycle these materials. Glass recycling will remain a voluntary service until the city can determine if the program works.

Awesome! Pierre doesn’t recycle glass, so at least now I’ll have some place to take it!
