Glass containers
can be recycled now. Window glass and other products like Pyrex
bowls are recyclable but with a bit more effort. Local recycling
programs may request that glass be cleaned and sorted by color.
Some beverage containers are recycled through reuse, saving
energy over manufacturing. The Oregon Bottle Bill has successfully
increased the reused of glass containers. Washington does not
have such a requirement. For information on other states’ returnable
bottle programs, write to: Environmental Action Foundation,
