Meet The Team
Nick and John are local Erie County residents who recognized the need for a practical solution to the glass recycling problem. In February of 2019, they began researching and developing a business system to address the removal of glass containers from many of the county's recycling programs. This led to the formation of Bayfront Glass, LLC.
Feel free to reach out to either of them to share your thoughts or suggestions on how to improve this recyclable glass container collection program.
