CORPUS CHRISTI - The City of Corpus Christi Solid Waste Operations Department and the Clean City Committee are offering a Glass Recycling Event. It will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 26, 2011 at the Wal-Mart store located at Everhart and SPID.
Coordinators of the effort say that many residents have been asking for glass recycling events. As a result of those requests, events like the one on Saturday will be held quarterly.
Glass is one of the few materials that can be recycled indefinitely without losing strength, purity or quality. During the recycling event, all colors of glass and any type of glass will be accepted from participating citizens. Coordinators also say volunteer opportunities and community service hours are available for the event.
