There are strict rules around how your waste should be handled. Dry mixed recycling (DMR), food and non-recyclable waste need to be separated from glass waste and placed into the right waste bins.

Why is glass recycling important?
Glass is infinitely recyclable, meaning it can be reused multiple times without degrading. Recycling glass is essential for sustainability, and choosing recycling over landfill disposal can reduce disposal costs and contribute to a zero-waste, circular economy.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is not included as glass waste?
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).
