Recycling

Glass

Less energy is used to melt recycled glass to make new bottles than to make glass from raw materials.

There are glass recycling banks at some supermarket and retail parks. You can search for your nearest one using Recyclenow's local recycling locator

Or if you have a grey bin you can put glass in there and present at the kerbside for collection on the pick-up day. Please do not put glass crockery, ceramic, pyrex dishes or window glass into your bin.

Glass collected by us is taken to Levenseat in Forth and also Viridor's glass recycling plant at Newhouse for processing.
