ABOUT BROKEN GLASS.

I removed a broken drinking glass from one of your recycling cans today. Never put broken glass in a recycling can. Broken glass should be put in your regular trash, wrapped in paper and inside a garbage bag. As you know, homeless people go through recycling cans looking for cans and bottles that they can sell. They usually do this at night before collection day and when it is dark outside. Broken glass mixed in with your cans and bottles can cause serious injuries to the homeless people who pick through the stuff in your recycling can. Let’s not add to their troubles. Putting broken glass in your recycling can can also injure the people who pick up and empty the recycling cans. And don’t put tin can lids or other metal items with sharp edges in your recycling can either.
