Dear City Leader,

We have been following the glass recycling issue in the media over the past few months and are concerned that our city no longer offers curbside glass recycling to its citizens.

In speaking with our family, friends and neighbors, so many of them are supportive of curbside pick-up because it encourages all citizens to conveniently participate, increases the volume of glass recycled, and will ultimately be positive for our city. Many of us feel the small cost associated with this effort is well-worth-it versus the added burden of taking glass to regional drop-off centers.

We encourage you, and our other city leaders, to be “forward-thinking” when it comes to recycling glass! With so many communities around the US recognizing the multitude of benefits that come from initiatives like this, why would our city reject the efforts to forge a public-private effort to engage services?
