The city of Pasadena, Calif., in cooperation with the California Department of Conservation, the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) and recycler Allan Co., has implemented an 18-month glass recycling pilot program, according to a report in the Pasadena Star-News (Pasadena, Calif.).
About 12 restaurants and bars have signed on since the program kicked off on Earth Day in April, according to the report.
The Allan Co., headquartered in Baldwin Park, Calif., provides containers for the businesses to store used glass products, which it picks up on a regular basis.
According to the report, a $284,000 grant from the California Department of Conservation is funding the program.
