A 2021 commercial glass recycling pilot program in the Chicago area has taken off again, and this time it has signed up double the number of restaurants and bars.Organized by the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI), the program collects and recycles glass bottles from restaurants and bars in the Chicagoland area. GPI anticipates the Don't Trash Glass program will collect an average of about 20-plus tons per week, once 50 collection bins are deployed.In an interview with Resource Recycling, GPI President Scott DeFife said the effort started as a pilot project last summer. It launched in late May with the intention that it will remain a permanent service.
