Butler raises question about glass recycling
Butler City Council plans to contact Waste Management to find out why the company isn't telling residents that glass can be recycled.
At Tuesday's council meeting, Councilman Jeff Smith said a brochure the company recently sent to residents omits glass from the list of items it will pick up for recycling.
Last year, the city and Waste Management agreed to a three-year contract for garbage and recycling collection that includes collecting clear and colored glass for recycling, Jeff Smith said.
Solicitor Tom Breth said he will write the company a letter saying it could be in breach of that contract and asking how Waste Management intends to remedy the situation.
He said residents can continue to recycle glass.
