FAQs
Can all glass be recycled?
Unfortunately not. Pyrex for example has a higher melting point, so cannot be safely recycled. Similarly crystal drinking glasses should be kept out of glass recycling. The main constituents of our collections are all types of bottles and jars.
What can recycled glass be turned into?
Recycled glass is typically repurposed into new bottles, jars, and containers.
How many times can glass be recycled?
Infinite! Glass can be recycled again and again, so please ensure it doesn’t end up in landfill.
