McCoart County Complex Gets New Glass Recycling Trailer

The popular purple bins designated “Glass-Only Recycling” now have an additional location. The newest location is the large McCoart Administration Building parking lot near Greatbridge Road and Ricter Way, just off Prince William Parkway. The glass recycling trailer is co-located with a blue recycling trailer.

Residents can also bring glass bottles, jugs and jars to purple bins located at the Prince William County Landfill, Balls Ford Road Compost Facility, Ferlazzo Building parking lot, or James Long Regional Park for recycling. Glass placed in these purple recycling bins is sent to special glass processing facilities where the material is used to make new glass containers and other products.

Glass should not be placed in curbside recycling bins or blue recycling trailers. Residents that do not want to use the purple glass recycling bins should place glass items in the trash.
