Over the past year, glass recycling advocates saw a glimmer of hope as
fewer communities eliminated glass from their recycling programs than had
done so recently. Now work is underway in some areas to not just stop the
cuts but to reintroduce the material into programs. Many of those efforts
originated at the local level with creative solutions to promote glass
recycling while boosting its value through source separation.

“We’ve seen a dramatic change in communities dropping glass,” said Scott
DeFife, president of the Glass Packaging Institute. “We're getting glass
back in many different areas, and we are doing even better at initiating
new ways of collecting it.”
