Hello everyone,

In case people wonder why we charge monitor fees.

  "Glass to glass recycling is viewed by the Environmental Protection
Agency as the best use of this material. It is certainly preferable over
 sending it to a lead smelter, which can be environmentally sound, but
 doesn’t yield the benefits of overall glass-to-glass recycling. A main
   purpose of CRT’s rule is to promote [this], which has been a major
  intent from the beginning, starting with our Common Sense Initiative
                                work," 
                                    
                                * Bob Tonetti
 Senior Environmental Scientist, Environmental Protection Agency Office
                            of Solid Waste 
                                    
                                    

The company(CRT Processing)[1] Free Geek chose to use, uses this glass
to glass recycling method.
