Perfect timing for this site's launch! The Glass Packaging Institute recognizes this week, September 21-27, 2009, as Glass Recycling Week. According to the carbon calculator on their website, recycling a 6 pack of bottles a week saves the equivalent of 31 Kilowatts over the course of a year, enough to light a standard compact flourescent bulb for over 3 months!

Unfortunately, Boise does not offer curbside glass recycling. However, it's easy and rewarding to bring your empty glass containers to one of the 17 convenient drop-off locations around Boise. Find the location closest to you with our exlusive Glass Recycling Map, and spread the word about glass recycling.
