We are officially on the trip and learning! We left out this morning at 8:30 and were in Williamstown, WV by 10:30. The weather was dry and hot, but the vans are air conditioned, so no problem.
 |
| Our first stop was Gabbert Cullet in Williamstown. Gabbert buys and sells cullet to and from glass suppliers and glass manufacturers. |
 |
| The cullet comes in mixed and must be sorted into bins. |
 |
| The blue cullet here was obviously a fiasco. |
 |
| Dennis greets the owner of Gabbert, Mr. Frank Lane. Mr. Lane spoke to us about the history of Gabbert. |
 |
| Broken handles and end pieces from the glass making process. |
Questions for consideration:
1. Review the previous posts and define cullet.
2. Mr. Lane's business has been in decline for years because of the number of glass manufacturers that are no longer in business. Why have those businesses been closing?
3. What are some other uses of cullet? Look around your house and neighborhood if you can't think of any.
