"Clean" Glass

The Northeast Resource Recovery Association (NRRA) offers its members the option to recycle clean glass bottles and jars through its clean glass program. NRRA members can deliver glass jars and bottles only (no glass-like contaminants are allowed, such as ceramics, porcelain, leaded glass or Pyrex) to one of several host sites in New Hampshire and Vermont. Then the glass is transported to a Canadian company where the glass is crushed, cleaned, sorted, then delivered to companies in the United States to be made into fiberglass insulation or new glass bottles and jars.
