She stumbled upon the idea of starting a small recycling business, specifically glass recycling. Apparently establishments that serve whiskey and wine have tons of bottles they have to get rid of. This gal's business in Tulsa is growing well. I don't know if the business model she has can be replicated elsewhere or not. Might be worth someones time to check it out.
