Nebraska City Tourism and Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, April 9, to celebrate the glass recycling site in Nebraska City in the city parking lot on the corner of Central Avenue and 6th Street. Keep Nebraska City Beautiful Executive Director Sally DuBois said she is excited that the year-long pilot program had full bins after being in operation only two weeks. BluePrint Financial Planning is sponsoring the program for the first year. Any color bottle, glass food containers, drinking glasses, and even broken glass can be accepted in the bins, which are emptied twice a month. Labels may be left on containers, but lids must be removed. Broken windows or windshields are not accepted.
