Lawrence glass recycling slows after curbside program
Lawrence's 2014 curbside glass program coincides with a drop in recycled glass. Ripple Glass now receives about 60 tons monthly, 40 percent less than before, and only about 24 percent of collected glass reaches Ripple. Stockpiled glass at Hamm Inc could be used for road projects, but buyers are scarce.
