With assistance from a Department of Energy Appropriate Technology Grant, Montclair Recycling added the curbside collection of color-mixed glass to an existing curbside newspaper collection program and installed intermediate processing equipment to upgrade the quality of the glass (i.e., color sort and remove metal contaminants) so it could be sold as a raw material to a nearby glass manufacturer. The first collection was made on May 1, 1980.
