Glass

• Glass containers such as bottles and jars should be cleaned and any tops or corks removed before recycling.
• When using bottle banks, put the glass in the correct bank for clear, green or brown glass. Blue glass goes in with green glass.
• Only use bottle banks during the day - the sound of smashing bottles can make a real racket which disturbs people who live nearby!
• Remember not to litter the area around the bottle bank with your empty bags and boxes.

You can't recycle: window panes, light bulbs, glass ovenware or electrical equipment. Dispose of these carefully with your normal household waste.

Return it!

• If a bottle is returnable it is better to return it, rather than to recycle it. For example, if your milk bottle came from the milkman, make sure he gets it back!
