Glass recycling box - fortnightly collection

Check your collection dates

Glass box

What goes in your 40-litre glass recycling box

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.

No thanks 

We do not accept:

  • broken glass
  • light bulbs
  • oven-proof glass (e.g. pyrex)
  • sheet glass and windowpanes
  • plastic tops and lids
  • general rubbish and recycling

Wrong stuff in the wrong bin?

If there is any reason why we cannot collect some or all of your waste, we will leave a tag or sticker on the container. Find out what our tags and stickers mean.
