       There's no municipal recycling in our state. We pay (in our rent) for a weekly service that collects some, but not glass. A glass recycler does collections every now and then. We just took ours for the first time since moving here 6 months ago. We had just enough for a 5 gallon bucket (we pay $5 for them to take). That included 2 bottles I took from the party Friday and a 6-pack my partner got once by mistake. We used to have that much every 2 weeks, easy.

       @compostablespork the lack of circular use glass is really annoying. It's easily sterilized and can readily be used quite a few times.The lack of easy consumer level glass recycling, a material which readily recycles, is absurd. Like, glass is the perfect example of how the onus on waste reduction was transferred to consumers. *Soapbox screaming*Also, like, that's a really awesome reduction in use!

       @savagegoose Also - about the circular use - I also totally agree. Our local dairy tried a fundraiser a few years back to get enough to buy a bottler-sterilizer so they could do glass returns for milk, but they didn't get enough $ so they bailed on the idea. I keep hoping they'll try again and succeed! We had milk in bottles in our old city and I loved it so much.

       @compostablespork I hope they try again as well. New machines like that are always more expensive than one would think in upfront costs. It usually doesn't require anywhere near as much interest to keep the program going as it did to start it with things like that.
