The cost of recycling means Fargo-Moorhead residents can no longer toss glass in their recycling bins. The local recycling company said the change will save money and reduce the carbon footprint for processing glass.
MinnKota Recycling, which handles curbside materials collected by Fargo and Moorhead, said it made the change after Twin Cities businesses where it sent material decided they would no longer take shipments of glass, plastic, aluminum, paper and other materials compressed together into bales — the kind MinnKota sent.
Glass can still be brought to recycling drop off sites in both cities, but it will be reused locally rather than being shipped to a Twin Cities recycling company. |
