>FYI Rhode Island doesn’t recycle glass anymore so don’t bother with that

Wow! First I've heard of this ... so I shouldn't put glass in recycling anymore? Not that much comes in glass anymore 😣

They weren’t before Covid but they said still put it in with recyclables because something about using the broken glass for something else? I’ll find the story. And the whole recycling market has bottomed out for lack of buyers and also because the whole plastics industry has fooled us into thinking most plastics can be recycled (most still can’t) but it’s better than nothing?https://ecori.org/2018-4-8-glass-recycling-still-a-problem-in-ri-and-region/
