GLSand will soon arrive to Manson

MANSON - Last November the Lake Chelan Mirror interviewed Manson High School seniors Megan Clausen and Devyn Smith after finding out about their efforts to bring in glass recycling to the valley.

After starting up a GoFund Me to raise initial funds to purchase the GLSand, the girls were able to order the machine on Dec 14.

The GLSand is a four feet tall and two feet wide on wheels machine that “can crush a wine bottle or beer bottle into a fine sand or grit that’s safe to handle.”

It can hold 160 beer bottles or 60 wine bottles which are equal to 85 pounds of sand. It takes about three to five seconds to crush one single bottle.

Both Clausen and Smith are still waiting on the arrival of the GLSand to Manson and are still accepting donations on their GoFund Me account.

Clausen and Smith were only able to raise half of the cost of the machine the first time around.
