Another BC fact

5) They do not recycle glass in Nanaimo. I know, because I tried to put glass out and they wouldn't take it. Bastards! Remi and I postulate that there may be no glass refining facilities on the island and it's too expensive to ship to the mainland. Or they just suck. Any thoughts?

Considering you are in the mecca for granola-eating, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing hippies (no offense, since that just about describes myself), I would think there is a very valid reason that they aren't recycling glass. Are there drop off points anywhere? Maybe they're afraid it'll break and cause a real mess, so they make you take it directly to the recycling place.

At least they don't make you wrap it 6 times in bubble wrap, put it in a cardboard box, and write FRAGILE on it.
