Yakima Valley College’s STEM program is partnering with volunteers from Yakima Recycles Glass. During this event, community members and local businesses will be able to dispose of glass, food and beverage containers in a low-cost, ecologically sustainable way. A disposal cost of $5 per cubic foot of recycled materials (examples a cubic foot of wine bottles is about 16 and a cubic foot of 12 oz. beer bottles is about 30) will be charged to cover transportation; materials may be dropped off from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.Participating in the drive will help save energy, reduce carbon emissions, minimize landfill waste and keep the Yakima Valley community clean.
