What do we classify as Glass Waste?
To maximise recycling, it’s crucial to use designated containers for different types of glass waste. Our commercial glass recycling service covers a variety of standard glass items, but we also assist with specialised glass disposal for items like flat sheets and light bulbs. Contact us to discuss disposal for unique glass types.
Here’s what can go in our standard glass waste collections:
Glass jars – including labels and lids
Glass bottles – including labels and tops
This helps us provide a smooth, effective glass waste recycling and disposal service for your business.
Certain types of glass are not classified as standard glass waste and require special handling. Examples include large glass sheets, Pyrex glass, computer screens, and light bulbs. We can help with these items, but they may require a specific container and classification. For assistance with non-standard glass disposal, contact our team at 0808 145 4533 (08.30 - 17.00, Monday to Friday).
While small jars and bottles are common, we rarely handle large, intact glass pieces like window panes. These items are typically broken down for disposal alongside other hardcore waste.
