Perfume bottles

Can I recycle it?

We collect empty perfume bottles from you as part of your household recycling collection service. Please remove the cap and plastic pump nozzle first.

If it is not possible to empty the bottle, please do not put it in your recycling or household rubbish. As a flammable item it needs to be disposed of safely. There are chemical storage containers at every HWRC (except the one at Dudnance Lane, Pool) where you can deposit them.

Which container?

Black box for glass.
