Our glass recycling bins are big fans of any glass materials made from clear, green or brown glass (so yes, those beer bottles are safe to go in this glass recycling bin). On the other hand, we like to keep other types of glass separate, such as window glass, mirrors, lightbulbs, drinking glasses or other glassware. These other glass types have different materials to your average household glass bottles and jars and can contaminate the glass recycling system we have in place.  

You can purchase an information poster with your glass bin that will tell you everything you need to know about what can and can’t be recycled here.

Having a separate glass recycling stream in place means that all of those excess glass bottles and jars can be streamlined into being recycled and turned into something new and shiny. Whether it's transforming old spirit bottles into colourful countertops or giving jam jars a second life as stylish tiles, recycling glass keeps these materials out of landfills to avoid contamination and contributes to a more sustainable future.

No. As passionate as we are about protecting our environment, we’re just as passionate about the safety of others. Broken glass is a serious safety hazard to recycling workers, so we ask you not to place any in our glass-only bin. Any broken bottles, glass jars or any other recyclable glass objects should be disposed of carefully and in accordance with your local waste management guidelines.
