Kentucky’s waste management officials have been lending glass pulverizing machines to counties to try to increase glass recycling, according to a report in the Lexington Courier-Journal (Lexington, Ky.).
The machines cost between $10,000 and $20,000 and make a product that can be used like gravel to underlay road beds, according to the report.
Residents of Boyle County, Ky., are also experimenting with using recycled glass as part of concrete for building foundation pads.
