Glass

* NOTE: This page is currently under construction *

Due to the recent change in recycling options for glass in East Jefferson County, Local 20/20 has been compiling a list of local businesses that can take back or refill glass containers, or that carry bulk items often purchased in glass. We encourage the community to look for a local business that can provide the products they want in a glass or other container that can be reused. This can be a win win, as reuse is better for the environment than buying new, and buying local supports our local economy as well as reduces the carbon footprint of the products! See below for the current list, and please email us any needed updates at admin@l2020.org.
