Overview

Mission

To create a sustainable future by diverting recyclable glass from landfills

What it reported doing in 2025

Promoted glass recycling in nearby communities by communicating the benefits of a successful recycling model and demonstrated the processes to follow to be successful. The result was that almost 90,000 pounds of glass was recycled vs landfilled.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
