Happy Recycle Glass Month!

Ripple Glass is excited to celebrate Recycle Glass Month all September!

Join us as we build awareness of the importance of glass recycling and in turn, recycle more glass!

Glass recycling rates across the nation are hovering at only 30% and in Kansas City, it’s even less at around 20%. We have a lot of work to do, so let’s go:

Here’s how you can participate!

RECYCLE THAT GLASS

If you have a bottle or jar you’ve been hoarding, get to a purple bin or your local recycling center and recycle it this month! Yes, even ONE bottle counts.

SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT GLASS RECYCLING

Tell your friends, family, and co-workers! Together, we can keep glass out of our landfills and make our communities more beautiful places to live, work, and play.
