ROWLAND: Tossed glass tumbles into art

11.05.11

Gloria Williams said all the waste from non-CRV glass coming through their recycling centers inspired them to go a different direction.

"We saw all the waste that was happening," she said. "My husband and son said, 'We don't want to throw this stuff away, let's see what we can do with it.' "

What they ended up doing with it was making things such as drinking glasses, serving trays, garden stones, wind chimes, coat racks and glass mulch.

The center buys non-CRV glass such as wine and liquor bottles, mirrors and even tempered glass for 10 cents a pound. The only glass it won't take is car windshields.

It takes the glass and tumbles it, making it safe and removing sharp edges.

The glass mulch in particular is unique. Gloria Williams said it's practical and pretty. The mulch keeps snails, slugs and other pests out while adding color and shimmer.

"We really enjoy working with the glass," she said. "This keeps it out of the landfills, and we can do pretty things with it."
