In this week’s Chattamatters NOW segment, William Newlin of Chattamatters explore the do’s and don’ts of recycling glass in Chattanooga.

Many residents wonder where to properly dispose of glass bottles and jars, and he clarifies that currently, the city does not collect glass curbside due to processing hazards.

Instead, residents should bring glass to designated recycling centers. He’ll also discuss the city’s partnership with local companies to potentially offer free curbside glass recycling in the future, as part of a pilot program that includes composting initiatives.

Plus, you’ll learn how Chattanooga handles recycled glass and what options are available for residents to participate in more sustainable waste practices. Click below to listen!
