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
Before you throw something away or recycle it, could it be reused instead?
You could:
- donate to a charity shop
- donate to a Kernow Reuse Shop (at our HWRCs)
- visit a repair cafe for help fixing or mending items
- give it away on sites like Freecycle, Freegle or Facebook Marketplace
- donate to local community projects like:
- RE:SOURCE (Bodmin)
- Heartlands Furniture (Pool)
- GOFA (Penzance)
- Cornwall and Plymouth Furniture Reuse Project
- Sell items at car boot sales, online (eBay) or through a local auction room
