Glass Bottle RecyclingGlass bottles can be recycled up to 15 times in Alberta and they are 100% recyclable! Since more than 1 ton of natural resources are saved for every ton of glass that’s recycled, it’s well worth your while to return all the glass bottles you can! But it’s really important that you only return rinsed and empty glass bottles! Glass is heavier than other products that are recyclable. So, it’s only able to be effectively recycled if it’s clean when it’s transported! Recycling your glass bottles at New Norway Bottle Depot saves energy and natural resources and puts money back in your pocket. Do your part for our amazing province (and the planet). Return your bottles to New Norway Bottle Depot. |
