What goes in your business waste glass bin

Yes please

What goes in your glass box:

  • glass bottles and jars
  • metal bottle/jar lids (left on the bottle or jar)
  • cosmetic jars
  • perfume bottles (please remove any lids with sprays)
  • room diffuser scent bottles

Never fill your glass box higher than the top of the box itself. Extra glass will be accepted at the kerbside provided it is placed in a sturdy container that can be easily lifted and emptied by a single person.
