Bar and Restaurant Recycling

From the Glass Packaging Institute:

A new Web site featuring resources and promotional materials to help North Carolina bar and restaurant owners start recycling went live in October. The Partnership for Bar & Restaurant Recycling Web site launches in advance of a state bill requiring holders of certain Alcoholic Beverage Control permits to recycle all beverage containers (glass, cans and plastic) effective Jan. 1, 2008. The Web site features "how to," best practices, model programs, collection resources, signage and ads. Partners in this promotional effort are Land-of-Sky Regional Council, N.C. Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance, U.S. EPA and the Glass Packaging Institute.
