Adams County Glass Recycling Program!
The Adams County Glass Recycling Collection Site at 230 Greenamyer Lane, Straban Township is open for glass drop-off.
Drop off is held on the first Saturday of the month 9-12pm. When you recycle your glass, you help keep glass out of the landfill and save precious raw materials and energy used in the glass manufacturing process. All glass collected is transported to western PA for processing (separating labels and lids and sorting by color using optical scanners) and then onto the glass bottle factory. Once glass is picked up from the collection site, it’s possible that glass will be recycled and back on store shelves as new bottles in a month or two!
The Gettysburg Green Gathering manages the glass recycling program is always looking for volunteers to help out! If you are interested please contact us at: gettysburggreengathering@gmail.com
