Members of the WashU and St. Louis communities may now recycle their glass in the Ripple Glass depository in the West Campus parking lot.
Ripple Glass is a Missouri business offering circular solutions to keep glass out of landfills. By separating out glass at the source, Ripple Glass’ collection method has a 98% recovery rate – the remaining 2% is just the caps, labels, lids and corks. Ripple offers free public drop-off bins throughout Kansas City and St. Louis where anyone is welcome to recycle their glass.
Accepted items include glass bottles, drinking vessels, candle jars and windows.
For a complete list of accepted items and more information, visit the WashU Office of Sustainability website.
