To the editor:

I noticed some information missing from the March 29 article, “Message in a Bottle.” There is at least one bar in Lawrence that recycles all of its glass waste: the Star Bar at Pachamama’s. As bar manager, I make sure that staff and patrons recycle all glass bottles, as well as tin, aluminum and cardboard — as does Pachamama’s Restaurant.

Both use eco-friendly to-go containers, too. Our recyclables are picked up weekly by a locally owned and operated curbside recycling company. (It’s affordable for nearly any small business; weekly pickup starts at $20 per month.)

We obviously agree that recycling glass is important, and applaud KU’s Students for Bar Recycling for working toward a solution to this problem. I just wanted to point out that some bars are already doing their part.
