Recyclable Glass

At Hartzler's we collect, sanitize and reuse our 1/2-gallon bottles. When you return your bottle to any store that sells our milk you get your $1.50 deposit back. Our quart bottles we do not reuse but we do recycle them. Read more on how glass is recycled below.

A glass container is made of the simplest ingredients - silica sand, soda ash and limestone. When used glass is crushed, it returns virtually to its natural state. It is inert, non-toxic and can't contaminate the environment even when disposed of in landfill sites. But there is also no reason why glass containers should ever take up valuable landfill space when they can be used, over and over again.

Glass is 100% recyclable - it can be recycled indefinitely to make new glass. The glass recycled in a jam jar today can be a juice bottle next month, then a coffee jar, a milk bottle, a pickle jar, a ketchup bottle, and on and on forever.
