You can now recycle glass by putting it in your blue-lidded recycling bin.
Glass bottles and jars are 100% recyclable and can be recycled into new bottles and jars over and over and over again.
To recycle glass bottles and jars please put them in your blue-lidded recycling bin.
If you have extra glass that won't fit in your recycling bin, you can still take it to your local glass bank.
As most people will put glass in the blue-lidded recycling bin, usage of bottle banks will inevitably go down. Therefore, the provision of glass banks will be under review.
Where should I recycle glass?
You can recycle glass in your blue-lidded recycling bin at home, or at any of the 1000+ glass banks in Suffolk.
Just empty, rinse and pop them in your recycling bin or in a glass bank. You can even put metal lids and tops back on your bottles and jars, and they will also get recycled.
With your help we can give even more glass a new lease of life!
