How do you recycle glass?

Is Glass Recyclable?

Yes, glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without losing quality.

What businesses need glass recycling?

How do I Dispose of Broken Glass in the UK?

To safely dispose of broken glass in the UK, wrap the shards securely in newspaper or a thick bag, clearly label the package as “broken glass,” and place it in your general waste bin—not the recycling bin. Most household glass items like drinking glasses, mirrors, or window panes are not accepted in glass recycling due to their different composition. Always check your local council’s guidelines for any area-specific rules before disposal.
