A new recycling program spearheaded by Smirnoff will connect over 300 Chicago bars, restaurants, and businesses to recycle used and discarded glass bottles.

Smirnoff partnered with the Don’t Trash Glass (DTG) campaign, a combined effort with the Glass Packaging Institute and GlassKing Recovery & Recycling, to collect ready-to-recycle glass bottles across Chicagoland, a Smirnoff release says.

Those bottles will be processed by Smirnoff’s glass partners and then transported to the Smirnoff packaging plant in Plainfield, Ill., a Chicago suburb, to be filled and delivered to stores nationwide.
