Henry Snyder, associate dean of research administration said he had received four calls for training.
However, Allen said, the trucks were irregular in making pickups and there were problems getting equipment to load them when they did come.

Crushed glass at the warehouse now worth about $30,500, $24.39 a ton, she said, but it is still a relatively new product since early summer because they seldom have an empty truck coming through.
