Kootenai County Ends Glass Recycling, Says Too Costly

Roger Saterfiel says the glass is too expensive to take and the county would have to spend $20,000 a year to send it to Oregon or Canada.



Area residents drop off about 250 tons of glass a year. Saterfiel says the glass will now be taken to the Fighting Creek Landfill. He says the county also takes in about 50,000 tons of wood, metal, plastic and papers a year to be recycled.
