With much support from our community, curbside glass recycling has the attention of the Newberg City Council. Waste Management has introduced a new curbside glass pick up program to provide a convenient 20 gallon cart on wheels, with glass pick up two times a month.

Benefits of the proposed program:
- Less glass in our local landfill; glass is infinitively recyclable
- Each recycled bottle saves the equivalent to running a computer 30 minutes
- Avoid new bypass traffic next to Wynooski drop off site
- Helpful to elderly, disabled and those without vehicles
- No more searching for drop off centers as a new or existing resident
- Avoid mess and safety issues of moving and dropping off glass

The proposed program is being offered at a nominal fee of $2.88/month. This fee goes towards procuring 6000 bins for our city, and sustaining the equipment / manpower to provide this service. Let the Newberg City Council and Waste Management know that you are in support of this program by signing this petition.
