Why recycle glass?
Glass is still one of the most recyclable materials generated in homes, and should not be trashed. Glass bottles and jars are 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without losing any quality, which makes the effort to put these items back into the recycling ecosystem even more important.
What types of glass are acceptable?
Check the flyer to see what can be recycled(PDF, 445KB) in the Traveling Glass Bin program.
How should the glass be prepared?
Containers should be empty and rinsed. Lids and labels don't need to be removed. Please remember that any bags and boxes used to carry the glass must be discarded off-site.
