Akron Residents Urged to Recycle Glass Responsibly
Staff Report / Akronlocal.org
The City of Akron has outlined a straightforward process for recycling glass. Here are the steps residents can follow:
1. Gather glass jars and bottles; there is no need to remove labels from them.
2. Wash out the containers and remove any caps or corks.
3. Locate the nearest glass recycling bin; there are six bins available throughout the city.
4. Drop off your cleaned glass in one of these bins.
This initiative has proven effective, with the city collecting 80 tons of glass material this year alone. The Mayor's Office encourages residents to participate in these recycling efforts to promote sustainability.
