I forwarded your link about a glass crusher to the City and they're seriously looking at it. If those people are looking at paying it off in less than a year, and they only pay $30 a ton in tipping fees, well at our $97/ton rate it's almost not a question of whether or not to do it. Plus the city buys tons and tons of sand each year, just for spreading on ice.

I work for a guy who arranges loans for cities and municipalities to purchase recycling equipment. Seriously.

Usually they don't want the caps on. Different type of plastic. And yeah, it does get re-used but bottles for water are all made from virgin plastic. At least look for the ones that are super-thin.

Best use for store-bought water bottles: Freeze them and use in your camping cooler. Doesn't get everything wet like ice does, and hey, cold water to drink. You can use refilled bottles but I'm never sure the seal will always hold. Make sure the bottles have some of those accordion pleats in them so they don't burst when they freeze.

We take them to the recycling center and I smash them up and put the caps back on first. Isn't that where all that plastic lawn furnature comes from?

One bottle or two to fill ... lots less bottles in the landfill.

Just heard today that our local recycling center will no longer take glass. Don't even get me started...

No use. Then we'd spend too much time filling up water bottles for traveling. I usually have one in the truck but Sue has at least three everywhere she goes. I also keep a case in the fridge in the pole barn. It's just grocery store filtered water and it's cheap enough. Works out well for us. We probably drink a couple cases a week.

Go to Costco and get a water cooler; fill the 5-gallon jugs for $2 at most grocery stores.
