January 2021 Service
January Hours: 2
Total Hours for year: 15
I hope everyone had an excellent holiday season! I can tell by my first shift back with GHF that most of NOLA did! 😂 We were closed from Dec 16th - Jan 9th, and the NOLA people made sure to save their celebratory Veuve Clicquot bottles for us!
Santa (fundraising endeavors & donations) also treated us well this Christmas! All of our glass previously was disposed & sorted in old soap drums. These are pretty annoying to lug around. We have adapted to using machinery & equipment (like my scooter from November) to move the soap drums. Now we have TONS of new, glass recycling bins! They are much easier to move around.

At this point, we still have much of "Glass Mountain" to tackle, but a remarkable portion of it has been ground into cullet!
Another fun fact is that much of the glass that is not crushed is simply reused by people in the community. Some community members make beer and wine, and use large, cider bottles for it. Others collect certain bottles, or have other various ideas for reusing/repurposing old glass.
