Can I recycle it?
Pyrex is not collected as part of your kerbside recycling collection.
While Pyrex appears to be a type of glass, it has been specially treated and manufactured to withstand high temperatures. This makes it non-recyclable.
If you have broken or chipped Pyrex to get rid of, do not recycle it with other glass items. Simply dispose of it carefully in your rubbish bin
Donate or sell
Charity shops are always grateful for donations of unwanted items in good condition. You could also organise a give and take event or give items away via Freecycle, Freegle.
You can donate usable furniture to community projects like:
- RE:SOURCE in Bodmin
- Heartlands Furniture in Pool
- GOFA in Penzance
- Cornwall and Plymouth Furniture Reuse Project.
Or sell your spare stuff at garage sales and car boot sales or on eBay. If you can transport items yourself, most towns have their own auction rooms. They are also a good way of selling and buying second hand items.
