Glass Recycling - Look for the Purple Containers

We received a notice late last year that the condo would no longer be recycling glass along with the cardboard and plastic down the recycle chute. You could put the glass in the garbage chute - or take it to a purple container dumpster somewhere in Fairfax County. We pass by a purple recycling container that is located at the Dolley Madison Library in McLean Central Park where we walk almost every day. We oftentimes hear the glass shattering when it is dropped from the high point of the container. Since it’s too bulky to drag along the glass  - mostly wine bottles, spaghetti sauce and dressing jars  - when we are walking, we started collected the bottles over time and put them in a canvas bag. Today we thought was a good day to dump the glass so we drove over to Dolley Madison Library parking lot after lunch. No one was there, but we had several items to dump. If you like dropping glass from a six foot height you would enjoy the experience. I’m not sure what a short person would do to reach the small spaces designated for the drop off. So now we feel we did our civic duty - until the next time.
