Adair Recycling Center is now taking glass Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story District 2 Magistrate Daryl Flatt called this morning to let everyone know that the Adair Recycling Center is now accepting glass for recycling. "I talked to A.L. (A.L. Sinclair, Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator) this morning and he said that the Recycling Center has a taker for glass products.

"The landfill is paid by tonnage," he said, "and glass is heavy. Recycling the glass instead of putting it in the landfill could provide a major savings for the city." The Adair Recycling Center is located at 62 Service Road, Columbia, KY. Hours are 7am-3pmCT, Monday through Friday, and 8am-12pm noon CT on Saturday. The phone number is 270-378-0782.
