In 2021 EGRC crushed 28.5 tons of glass bottles into sand. Dropping 9 truckloads of bottles...into one just one truck full of sand!

A Community Grant of $4,000 and a Stormwater Utility Grant of $5,000 are helping to close the loop and reduce the waste from glass! Thanks to these city grants EGRC can increase production and better market these products made from your glass containers. 

Two main uses of this money include:

 - Supporting a Farmers Market booth to educate the community about the materials being created

- Purchasing a LVScreener to sieve New Sand and make it more marketable for industrial and home/garden uses.
