Recycling box for glass
Recycling boxes can become very heavy when full of glass.
We recommend that you present your glass box on every collection day even if there is very little in your box. This will mean that the box does not become overfull and too heavy to be emptied.
If you recycle a lot of glass and need an extra box this can be ordered via our online customer portal.
We can accept
- glass bottles
- glass jars (no food residue)
We cannot accept
- drinking glasses
- picture or window glass
