Broken glass

Can I recycle?

Broken glass is not collected as part of your recycling collection. 

Which container?

Broken glass goes in your rubbish bin. Carefully wrap any broken glass or sharp objects or put them in a sturdy plastic container like an ice cream tub. Clearly label the package so the crew know there’s broken glass inside and leave it out on top of your wheelie bin or sack. 

When is my collection day?
