Glass Recycling Event Saturday

If you're like me, and you stockpile glass bottles and jars in the garage until you have an opportunity to drop them off somewhere in town, you're in luck.

From 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 2, the city of Springfield is sponsoring a glass recycling drop-off event at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

All colored glass bottles or jars that previously contained food or drink will be accepted. Just leave kitchenware, window glass, and eyewear at home, because these types of glass won't be accepted.

To drop off your bottles, enter the fairgrounds through Gate 11.

And if you can't make it to the glass drive Oct. 2, stay tuned: I'll be sharing info about a recycling drive at the Lincoln Land Community College campus soon.
