For the first time in nearly two decades, glass recycling is coming to Mat-Su. The Valley Community for Recycling Solutions center, located near the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Central Landfill in Palmer, will begin accepting glass in September, officials there announced. All types and colors of glass will be accepted, and labels do not need to be removed before drop-off, borough officials said.

“The community really wants glass collection,” Borough Solid Waste Manager Jeff Smith said…“They talk about it all the time, so this is a pretty exciting thing for them.” Recycled glass will be pulverized into fine sand using their GP-O5L newly purchased by the borough from New York-based Andela Products.
