Glasses (spectacles)

Can I recycle it?

Spectacles are not collected as part of your recycling collection.

Many opticians collect old spectacles to donate to charities who send them to developing countries.

Which container?

Broken glasses or glasses that are no longer useable can go in your wheelie bin or protective sack.

When is my collection day?
