Why is beer still sold as glass bottles. Recently my city removed glass from recyclable items and im guessing thats because its harder to recycle then they believed. However. There are some beer thats comes in both can and bottle and 9 times out of 10 its a bottled version. Aluminum must be cheaper right?

The city (like mine) has probably stopped accepting *non – deposit* glass for recycling. basically, if there isn’t much market for the product, and it is inert in the landfall, than it might not be worth doing economically or environmentally. Beer bottles with deposit are mostly going to be *re – used* as opposed to being recycled.
In our case, the only place that would buy up the glass to actually recycle it was not paying enough to cover the fuel cost of transporting it to them.
