Goodwill of Delaware Unveils Glass Pulverizer as Part of Company Initiative

Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware counties revealed a new glass recycling machine that will turn glass into sand, which will be used to supplement real glass and preserve the state’s shoreline.

Following the company’s new initiative and grant funding from Truist Bank, three Goodwill locations will now have glass recycling machines.

Glass that can’t be reused or sold at the Goodwill in Delaware because of its condition usually ends up in landfills. Now, that glass can be turned into sand using the glass pulverizer, which can accept up to 1.5 tons of glass.

“In most stores, glass is either broken and can’t be reused or hasn’t been sold in the store. Previously we put it in the landfill. But now we’re taking glass here and are able to do something else with it,” said Colleen Morrone, CEO of the Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County.

“We have a lot of beaches here in Delaware, so we’re looking at all of our opportunities and trying to find the best for us here to make Delawareans feel good about donating to Goodwill.”
