Your Glass Is Still Being Recycled

The main glass processor in western Washington has temporarily closed its recycling plant and stopped accepting glass. LRI, in partnership with Murrey's and LeMay-Pierce County Refuse, has secured an alternative regional glass processor south of Pierce County, ensuring that glass collected within the system continues to be recycled.
