Glass waste is heavy, brittle, and can pose safety risks if broken, making correct handling essential. Bottle glass is typically clear or coloured and easy to recycle, while plate glass—used in windows, doors, and mirrors—is denser, may be laminated, and often requires specialist recycling processes. All glass waste should be free from contamination such as food residue, adhesives, or framing materials to be suitable for recycling.

You can bring your glass waste directly to our recycling facility or arrange for collection from your premises. We offer tailored disposal options for businesses producing regular glass waste and can advise on safe handling and separation. Both bottle and plate glass are diverted from landfill wherever possible to support sustainable waste management.

Yes, we provide collection services for both bottle and plate glass waste from commercial and domestic sites. Our team ensures glass is transported safely and sorted correctly for recycling or appropriate disposal.

Once glass waste is tipped at our facility, it is sorted into types—typically separating bottle glass from plate or flat glass. Bottle glass is cleaned, crushed, and sent to recycling plants where it is melted and remade into new glass products. Plate glass may be processed separately depending on its condition and composition, and is either recycled or safely disposed of if it’s contaminated or laminated.
