Committee asks whether Santa Fe should reconsider curbside glass recycling
Summary
A committee member asked whether glass had been offered curbside in the past; Environmental Services Director Deborah Trujillo said curbside glass collection was phased out years ago and is now handled at drop-off centers or at external facilities.
During questions after the Environmental Services presentation, a committee member asked, "Do we ever used to do glass curbside?" Director Deborah Trujillo replied that the city "used to" offer curbside glass many years ago but that currently glass is accepted at the division's recycling drop-off centers or can be taken to an off-site facility (Burke).
The committee member suggested reconsidering curbside collection as an idea for future service planning; Trujillo did not commit to a timeline and framed it as "something to consider." The exchange closed with praise for the division’s overall operations and an invitation to follow up on options for glass collection.
