Don’t Trash Glass

Our goal is to collect glass containers in city bars and restaurants and divert them from landfills to be recycled into new bottles, fiberglass, and more.

Don't Trash Glass (DTG) is a program that diverts glass containers away from landfills and into the recycling stream by working with local restaurants and bars to collect glass bottles. The collected bottles are directed into a separate collection stream – away from waste streams – to be turned into new bottles and glass products. By prioritizing glass waste recycling, the program helps conserve raw materials and reduce the environmental impact of glass waste disposal.

Through partnerships and support from local communities, the program is creating a sustainable beverage supply chain and helping to achieve a circular future for glass.

By diverting glass from the landfill and into dedicated recycling materials streams, DTG contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and supporting efficient glass manufacturing practices that prevent loss in quality.
