Kerbside glass collection
The council has introduced kerbside glass collection to the district to make recycling glass easier and more convenient. Collections of glass are every four weeks.
There are also more than 50 council-operated bring sites, in addition to bottle banks at supermarkets.
Glass is easily recycled and this creates a significant environmental benefit. Glass which is placed in a refuse or recycling bin is not recycled, and this is not only worse for the environment but also contributes to the overall costs, which the council has to meet from council tax.
If you have an assisted collection, we will do this for glass as well. If you live in a flat or other communal property, we will try to offer a larger shared collection bin similar to your other waste in due course, as it will not be possible for these types of properties to have individual glass recycling boxes collected.
You can check your collection dates on the When are my bins collected? page.
What do I do if I haven’t received my kerbside glass collection box?
If you haven’t received a box please get in touch with the council on the waste phoneline on 0300 300 0013 and provide your address and name. We will ensure a box is sent to you as soon as possible.
