Glass Recycling tips
It's easy to get your glass bottles and jars ready to be recycled:
- Most
colored glass containers - including clear, green and brown - can be
recycled, but frosted or painted glass containers usually cannot be recycled.
Check
with your local recycling officer if you're unsure. If you are putting
your containers
out for curbside collection you won't need to separate them into colors,
but if you are dropping them off at a recycling center, you may need to
separate them into clear, green and brown.
- Remove and discard
all metal caps, lids and rings (labels can stay on).
- Finally,
you should rinse any leftover contents so your collection won't smell
bad or attract ants and bees.
- Keep collecting them this
way until your recycling day - when you set them out for curbside
collection or go with a parent to drop them off at a recycling center.
