Last week, the bin closed temporarily.

"We've got ample room," Public Works Superintendent Mark Offret said. Currently, Recycle Utah ships blue glass to a company in Cache County and beer manufacturers purchase some of Park City's brown glass for reuse. "I will not take material unless I can get it recycled." Riepen said, cautiously optimistic about the future of the Salt Lake glass smelter. "To have only one option is no longer acceptable." There are markets for recycled glass to make various architectural and concrete products, and for use in constructing retaining walls and mixing construction aggregate, Riepen said. 'There are lots of uses,1' she said. "There's room for more businesses than one in the state of Utah." But Riepen praised Owens Corning for the company's "good corporate citizenship." "That's the nature of recycling, there's lots of little crises along the way," Callahan said. "The system you're dealing with in terms of reusing materials isn't as strong as the economy for new materials. It's just tougher."
