This Earth Month, recycle glass items such as beverage containers and drinking glasses with UAB Sustainability at the Glass Recycling Day.April is Earth Month, and recycling is one of the ways individuals can play a tangible part in reducing their waste footprint. While recycling may be complicated for many, the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Sustainability department is here to help the community be responsible stewards of resources.
Pack vehicles with glass containers and join UAB Sustainability for a glass recycling day Thursday, April 20, from noon-5 p.m. at the UAB Recycling Center.
It will be a drive-through event, allowing people to drop off glass items that are blocking their storage spaces. Accepted glass includes clean food and beverage bottles and containers of any color, including soda bottles, juice containers, alcoholic beverage containers and drinking glasses. Help keep the recycling stream clean by rinsing containers before recycling.
Pack glassware in boxes, and be sure to click here to view items that will not be accepted at the drive.
The event is a partnership between UAB Sustainability and UAB Recycling, serving faculty, students, staff and community members.
