Glass Bottles / Jars

[hobo finds]

New Recycling place by me now is buying glass bottles @ .05 lb. AZ is not a deposit state. I will give it a try and see! Less that I am giving to the city in there recycling bins!

Now that's cool. .05 for glass! Awesome

That would be easy and add up quick.

The city of prescott ended their glass program. Now you have to pay to dump bottles and jars.

Nice.

Is that a blanket $0.05/lb for all colors of glass bottle? And does it matter if they're intact or broken?

If metal prices go much higher, we'll all be dealing in glass, plastic, cardboard and rags before long...

[hobo finds]

Can't be broken and looks like all colors

With a pellet mill this would be cheap heat.

On the upside, you don't pay a deposit, right?

Here in my town they crush them and bring them out to the demolition landfill in one HUGE pile. There are no buyers in our area. They say it is cheaper to make new glass out of sand, then to try to reprocess old stuff. I wonder how they can afford to pay the nickel a pound?

heck on a good day i am bringing in over 1,000 lbs. of glass,,, stockpiling the al as the price has dropped over 10%. and yes...... it has taken a toll on coin roll sorting. lol

at least they are smart enough to segregate it. as they can then 'mine' it at a future date.

From what I was told it saves a large amount of energy to mix in used glass with the new. They crush it and mix it in at a certain point in the process. Maybe it is the distance to haul it that makes it less profitable.

Or they could be saving it for Glaspault.

back in the hunt for glass to sell here in tucson . in fact, i got a 20% increase in pay, if i break the bottles

[hobo finds]

cwgii I found someone who is paying .03 for it and they also buy glass from windows and doors.

[cwgii]

since normas is back to buying glass, i will take it there. .03 is kind of the break point of not being worth it.

Thats where I'll be going when I save up enough glass again. .05 better than .03 and they are right by the place I take my metal to, so no need for a special trip...
