Our first stop on the tour was at a company that had been started almost 25 years ago in Williamstown,WV. They specialize in selling cullet to glass makers all over the United States and some companies overseas. They get discarded and broken glass from recycling businesses and other glass manufactures which is purchased by the ton. They mainly provide cullet to art glass companies and marble manufacturers.
When the glass comes in, they sort it by size (they have a machine for that) and by color which is sorted by hand. They sell their ware for a dollar a pound.

This entry connects well with your blog for July 16 on recycling.
