Reader Helen passed along this flyer and photo of a free community glass recycling spot in East Cobb.
It’s provided by Ripple Glass, a national recycling and waste management company, and the purple bin is hard not to notice.
It’s located next to Whole Foods at Merchants Walk (1311 Johnson Ferry Road), near the rear parking area.
The flyer below shows you what you can and can’t deposit there.
Basically, everyday items like glass food and beverage containers, drinking cups and glasses, general bottles, jars and glass containers and windows and shower doors are good to go.
But cardboard, ceramics, porcelain, mirrors, dishwares, lightbulbs and television sets are not accepted.
The Merchants Walk location is the third such “purple bin” in the East Cobb area, following Jackie’s Wine and Spirits (3140 Johnson Ferry Road) and Janice Overbeck Real Estate (2249 Roswell Road).
Here’s more on Atlanta operations, including places where you can pick up a purple Ripple Glass tote bag.
Ripple Glass says it collects more than 800 tons of glass every week from its bins around the country, and offers curbside service in its home market of Kansas City.
