Glass
From TipThePlanet
- Bottles and jars are usually separated by colour: brown, clear, and green.
- Place in the correct colour bin (unless there is a mixed colour glass collection).
- Recycle your blue glass with your green glass.
- Wash out bottles and jars, remove caps and corks before recycling (avoid wasting water: use your washing-up water).
- Light bulbs, Pyrex-type dishes, windowpanes etc. should not be put in glass banks.
Advice: reuse jars for storage, most supermarkets have glass banks, recycle alongside your weekly shop!
