Successful Glass Recycling in Rural Communities
June 6, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Monday, June 6 at 11:00 AM
Developing and maintaining a successful glass-recycling program in a rural community may seem like a daunting task. This webinar will feature three rural recycling centers that are successfully collecting post-consumer glass and the non-profit organization they are working with preparing it for use by a fiberglass manufacturer. The presenters will discuss their strategies for educating residents about glass recycling, minimizing contamination, storing the glass, and accessing end markets. The webinar is made available with funding from a USDA Rural Utilities Grant.
Presenters:
• Paul Albee, Manager, Norwich Transfer Station, Vermont
• Bonnie Bethune, Senior Member Services Representative, Northeast Resource Recovery Association
• Ben Hoy, Director, Walpole Recycling Center, New Hampshire
• Susanne Simon, Coordinator, Thetford Recycling Center, Vermont
