Beginning March 1st the Blue Mountain recycling and waste transfer station will be temporarily closed for approximately six weeks and all glass recycling is being discontinued.  The City of Port Angeles says supply chain issues have delayed delivery of necessary equipment to operate the facility requiring the closure. Port Angeles is taking over collection of recycling and yard waste from Waste Connections, Inc.  An announcement from the city says commercial cardboard bins are also slightly delayed, but overly large service disruptions are not anticipated. After investigating the glass recycling market, the City discovered there is only one recycling facility in the entire state of Washington, and they are no longer accepting glass at this time. The city says it will continue to monitor potential glass recycling market changes over the coming months in hopes that an option to utilize a reuse stream becomes available. Until then, glass is to be disposed of through regular solid waste means.
