LEARN HOW MUNICIPALITIES ARE USING THE GLASS PULVERIZER MODELS
As recycling and landfill tipping fees increase, one Tennessee city has turned to recycling glass in-house to save money while still staying green. The cost of recycling glass via private firms and businesses has gone up, leading some cities to forgo recycling glass in favor of dumping it in landfills, which has become cheaper than recycling.
