Commercial Recycling Program

Ripple Glass is teaming up with Deffenbaugh Industries to make glass recycling easy and affordable for KC-area bars, restaurants, and other commercial establishments. Dedicated glass bins — much smaller than the big purple containers found in parking lots throughout the city — nestle next to traditional trash dumpsters, allowing businesses to reduce the frequency and volume of their trash pickups while keeping perfectly good glass out of the landfill.

The pilot program is up and running! The following list contains the names and addresses of businesses participating in this exciting new initiative. Please patronize these establishments, and be sure to let them know how much you appreciate their commitment to environmental responsibility!

We hope to be able to expand this program to the entire metro area by the summer of 2011. Tell your favorite bars and restaurants that you want them to participate as soon as possible!
