Where does the glass go?
Glass to be recycled is consolidated at a city facility and then sent via tractor trailer to Ripple Glass in Kansas City, MO. Upon arriving at Ripple, glass is cleaned, sorted and crushed into cullet. The cleaned cullet is then made into insulation or new glass bottles.
Communities that participate in glass recycling with Ripple Glass receive an insulation donation at the end of each year to be used as they wish. River City Habitat for Humanity has been the recipient of these donations for 3 years.
