Glass is one of the original forms of packaging, having been discovered over 5,000 years ago.
Glass is 100% recyclable, and can be recycled and reprocessed indefinitely.
SUEZ provides collection and disposal services for glass recycling.
Only glass bottles and jars can be placed into the glass recycling bin or co-mingled recycling bin.
Drinking glasses, ceramics, plate glass window panes and oven-proof glass have a different melting temperature to glass bottles and cannot be recycled.
