Glass collection and recycling
- One container for all mixed glass
- 100% recycling
- Saves you money
Is your glass waste costing you more than it should?
Glass waste is much heavier than other materials, such as plastic or cardboard, so separating it out from your general waste will make a significant difference to your waste disposal costs.
Introducing a dedicated glass waste collection service will boost your recycling rates and, depending on quantities collected, it may even earn you a rebate.
Importantly, it also ensures diversion from landfill because all the glass waste we collect is recycled back into glass.
Contribute to the circular economy with glass recycling
Our top priority is to help our customers boost their recycling and, when it comes to glass waste, that can be simple and straightforward.
Glass is heavy and it can also be bulky to store, which is why our mixed glass waste collection and recycling service makes it easy.
Whether you have clear glass or coloured bottles and jars, it can all go into the same container. By co-mingling your glass waste in this fashion, we save our customers time, effort and money – and, because you only need one recycling bin, it also saves you space.
We can accept:
- Glass bottles (any colour)
- Glass jars (any colour)
