Glass Recycling is HERE!!
New World Recycling is now offereing limited recycling of glass in both Whitefish and Kalispell. The first and third Sunday of each month, glass can be brought to two locations: Whitefish Mall Parking Lot from 12 to 1 p.m. and the Kalispell Center Mall south end from 2 to 3 p.m. The cost is $10 per 32 gallons (or less) of glass. Brign your glass and put it in one or more of the 32 gallon garbage can provided at each site. The glass is collected, pulverized and offered to the public for all that you want for $20. If you just want a couple buckets, that's free, according to Cory Cullen, owner and manager of New World Recycling. Glass can be used for roads, driveways, walking paths and garden decoration.
