Hank Murta Adams: And so the visuals that you sent me, I mean you show them to anybody and it’s like, ‘Wow, Candyland.’ So the reason for those bins, those outdoor bins, are because every glass factory utilizes a recycling of cullet and waste. So those bins are all separated because you can’t make a blue out of cadmium, and so those bins are all separated out so that they can reuse material and—for two reasons, it saves money, saves time, but it also helps in the melt. So that’s why the cullet yard, the picture’s of the cullet yard, which is right outside—it’s between the batch shed at Blenko and the main furnace, blow building—that’s where those pictures are taken.
