About this facility

A glass secondary processor is an industrial plant that turns recovered glass into finished cullet or specialty products rather than collecting it from the public. It receives mixed or color-sorted glass from MRFs and primary recyclers, removes ceramics, metals, labels and other contaminants with optical sorters and screens, then crushes and grades the glass to the specifications of bottle manufacturers, fiberglass makers, abrasives producers or road and construction-material suppliers. These facilities are a wholesale link in the glass supply chain and almost never accept walk-in drop-offs. Hours, fees and accepted materials vary — call ahead if you represent a hauler or recycler with truckload quantities; residents should use a local recycling center or drop-off program instead.
