Abstract
The increasing environmental pollution due to urbanization after the industrialization revolution affects the global eco-system, including human existence. Waste recycling projects should be implemented by considering economic benefits besides the reduction of harmful effects on environment and health. The glass recycling process constitutes the significant part of prepared projects with this purpose. In this study, glass waste discarded by all students and staff at the Esentepe campus of Sakarya University has been used to calculate the costs of collecting, aggregation and transport to a recycling plant assumed 7.5 kilometres away.
