Glass sorting guide

Tips for better recycling

  • Empty your bottles and jars. There is no need to rinse or wash them.
  • Throw clear glass and coloured glass in the right bottle bank.
  • Metal or plastic caps and lids belong in the PMD bag.
  • Respect the peace and quiet of local residents and only use the bottle bank during the hours stated.
  • Don’t leave rubbish around the bottle bank. Fly-tipping is a criminal offence!
