Bin Hire, the Hawke's Bay company behind the idea, has earned attention and a $20,000 grant from glass industry organisation the Glass Packaging Forum. Glass Packaging Forum Scheme Manager Dominic Salmon says the trolley design also has the potential to solve a long-running struggle in the hospitality industry to recycle its glass. We've always recycled glass but this new system makes recycling glass a lot easier," she said. We believe that our ingenious collection system has the potential to bridge the gap between the hospitality sector and glass recycling due to its practicality." There is a large amount of glass in the hospitality sector which isn't being recycled, so this is an exciting development."
