This is a nano placed within a few metres of a bottle bank, you don't need to leave the public footpath to find it. Please bring your own pen. Why not also bring your bottles along and recycle them whilst looking for the cache? All colours of glass can be recycled here. If you have clothes or shoes that you no longer need there is a charity bin nearby, the contents of which go to Planet Aid UK.
If you would like to create a cache and add it to the series, that would be great. If you let me know the name of your cache I'll maintain a public bookmark list of them all. Other caches in this series can be found here.
Glass makes up a large component of household and industrial waste due to its weight and density. The glass component in municipal waste is usually made up of bottles, broken glassware, light bulbs and other items. Adding to this waste is the fact that many manual methods of creating glass objects have a defect rate of around forty percent. Glass recycling uses less energy than manufacturing glass from sand, lime and soda. Every metric ton of waste glass recycled into new items saves 315 additional kilograms of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere during the creation of new glass. Glass collection points, known as Bottle Banks are very common near shopping centres, at civic amenity sites and in local neighbourhoods in the United Kingdom. The first Bottle Bank was introduced by Stanley Race CBE, then president of the Glass Manufacturers’ Federation and Ron England in Barnsley on 6 June 1977. There are now over 50,000 bottle banks in the United Kingdom. Heat-resistant glass like Pyrex or borosilicate glass should not be disposed of in the glass container as even a single piece of such material will alter the viscosity of the fluid in the furnace at re-melt. 752,000 tons of glass are now recycled annually in the United Kingdom. Glass is an ideal material for recycling and where it is used for new glass container manufacture it is virtually infinitely recyclable. The use of recycled glass in new containers helps save energy. It helps in brick and ceramic manufacture, and it conserves raw materials, reduces energy consumption, and reduces the volume of waste sent to landfill.
