You can recycle glass at both of our drop off facilities as well as curbside in mandated municipalities (City of Altoona, Logan Township, and Hollidaysburg)!

**Glass recycling is about more than keeping bottles out of the landfill—it's about building stronger, more circular materials systems.**

NERC's **Northeast Flow of Glass Report** highlights opportunities to improve glass recovery across the region by examining collection systems, recycling rates, end markets, and state policies.

Among the report's findings:
♻️ Every Northeast state provides residents with access to curbside and/or drop-off glass recycling.
📊 Collection systems and reporting methodologies vary significantly across the region, creating opportunities for greater consistency and improved data.
🏗️ Recycled glass supports growing end markets, including new containers, fiberglass, concrete applications, and aggregate products.

Whether you're working in government, recycling, manufacturing, or sustainability, the report offers a regional benchmark to help inform planning, identify opportunities, and support stronger glass recycling systems.
