Please Keep Glass Out of Landfills!

Hello Angus Residents

Hope you’re all having a smashing day! I mean that metaphorically, of course—no smashing glass bottles, please!

We know there’s been quite the buzz about the recent changes in Angus’s recycling system. Angus Council’s decision to stop kerbside household collection for glass recycling has stirred up a storm on social media. Many are frustrated and contemplating tossing their glass into the regular landfill bin (the purple one).

We get it, change is hard. But let’s talk about why putting glass in the landfill is a big no-no and how we can all step up to make a difference.

The Scoop on Glass Recycling

Glass is 100% recyclable and can be reused indefinitely without losing quality. When glass goes to landfill, we waste an incredible opportunity to save resources and energy. Plus, it just takes up space and contributes to the environmental issues we’re all trying to combat. Remember, the world is already dealing with enough heat—let’s not add fuel to the fire!

Why You Should Care

1. Planet-Friendly: Recycling glass reduces the need for raw materials, saves energy, and cuts down on pollution. Every piece of glass you recycle helps our planet breathe a little easier.
2. Future Generations: The less glass in landfills, the better the world we leave for our children and grandchildren. We all want a cleaner, greener planet for them, right?
3. Community Impact: By recycling properly, we contribute to our community’s environmental goals and set a positive example for others.
