What?
Glass bottles and jars generally fall into three categories – clear glass, green glass and brown glass, each of which is recyclable.
Where?
All clear glass, green and brown glass should be placed into glass recycling containers at your local bring bank. Don’t worry about removing labels as these will be removed during the recycling process
Coloured glass (such as red, purple, blue) are very often painted clear glass. This can be checked by either inspecting the inside of the neck of the item or by turning the item upside down to check the visible colour.
If however, the item is purple or red glass, it may go into the brown glass bank. Blue glass can go in the green glass recycling container.
