Recycling Your Wine Corks In Grand Junction, Colorado

If you're like me, you enjoy your wine. Some people enjoy collecting the corks. Personally, I've always felt guilty throwing them away. Then again, I'm a cheap son-of-a-gun, and as a result, most of the wine I buy comes in a box or features a screw-on cap.

For those who buy better wine, and that's pretty much everyone, you have a convenient location to recycle the cork, along with a number of other common items.
