All in a day’s work (well, volunteer work). The bin was empty when we opened this morning and now look!!!

Thank you to the Union Bulletin for helping us tell our story of how we reached 1,000,000 pounds of glass diverted from the landfill! We're actively working on the next million!

Glass can be recycled endlessly, but the cost is prohibitive, especially in rural areas. In Walla Walla, the hub-spoke model makes it possible.

It’s the 3rd Saturday so that means we’re open for business. 10-12

Come on down, drop off your glass recycling and say hi to our intrepid volunteers

Well. After three years, a lot of trial and error and with the help of a great group of volunteers, BIG Recyclers is set to surpass the 1,000,000 pound threshold today!!

Three years of your effort , time and support have diverted this much glass and gotten it to end use manufacturers to be reused in new containers and insulated fiberglass

Thank you everyone. Bottle by bottle, jar by jar makes a small dent in the waste stream and helps change people’s perceptions that glass can’t be recycled if you live in a rural community. . . .
