Recycling
Check what goes in your recycling bins or sacks, your collection days, order a new bin or report a problem with your collection.
Glass bottles and jars recycling
You cannot recycling glass bottles and jars in your home recycling bins. Instead, empty and rinse them, then take them to a local recycling point or recycling centre.
Check what goes in each of your bins or sacks
Glass is sorted, crushed and sent to reprocessors for recycling into new glass products.
