After watching the total solar eclipse on April 8, many people around the country probably didn’t know what to do with the glasses they used. A local business has found a way to recycle them.
Dana Koenig of Rozier’s Food Centre, has headed a drive for those in the community to bring in their lightly used or new glasses and recycle them. Koenig will send the glasses off to a company in Utah, where they will be sent off to people in South America who will use them to view a similar eclipse in August of this year.
“I saw it on the news and I thought it would be a great idea,” she said. “I cleared it with my bosses here and they said it would be ok. People just throw them away sometimes and now they will have a chance to send them here and we will take care of them.”
