Recycling is one of the easiest steps we can all take towards living more environmentally conscious lives and is a great way to help make the most efficient use out of our material resources.

The company Ripple Glass is setting up glass recycling drop-off stations around Kansas City and, is placing a new station at 1010 Southwest Blvd, between E. Edwards Work Wear and Strasser Hardware. The drop-off station is a large purple bin.

Ripple Glass is also building a processing plant and has found a local company to turn the recycled glass into fiberglass insulation. Ripple Glass notes on its website that this will save, “massive amounts of energy while producing a product . . . that saves still more energy.”

Ripple Glass can accept all food and drink containers of any color, including mason jars. Glass should be dumped directly into the purple bin with no containers. You do not need to remove the labels from your glass.

RDA encourages all Rosedale community members to collect their glass and take the glass to this conveniently close drop off point. And don't forget to TELL A FRIEND!
