Drinking glasses
Recycle at home
No, drinking glasses cannot currently be recycled at home in your area. Place broken drinking glasses inside your bag or bin for non-recyclable waste, remembering first to wrap them safely. You can use old newspaper or kitchen roll, or double-bag them, to ensure collection crews aren’t harmed when collecting them.
Are drinking glasses recyclable?
Drinking glasses are made from a different material to common glass bottles and jars which means they can't be recycled in your home collection.
Instead, you can recycle broken drinking glasses at your local recycling centre along with hardcore and rubble, which will be used as building materials for construction projects.
If you have drinking glasses in good condition, consider taking them to a local charity shop for reuse.
