Household Glass Recycling Collection

We collect glass from households once a fortnight using a green box. The collection takes place on your normal refuse collection day, either your purple recycling week or clear recycling week. Please refer to the sticker on your box for which week.

If you don't know what day your refuse and recycling sacks are collected, enter your location details within our My Local Area.

What Will Be Collected

What Will NOT Be Collected

Any colour of clean and empty glass bottle or jar.

Broken glass
Flat window glass
Light bulbs and tubes

Please wrap these items and use the normal black sacks. Label the sacks so the collectors know that they contain glass or take them to your nearest household waste site.

Milk bottles should be returned to your delivery company.
