Glass Recycling

Green glass recycling boxes are collected alongside your pink recycling sacks every other week - see your collections calendar for your collection day.

Our crews will still  collect from old  yellow glass boxes. If you need a new glass box or wish to recycle a broken box, you can do so at our Council offices in Kiln Road, Benfleet.

 

Presentation

Please present your glass box at the boundary of your property by 7am on your collection day. See more information on our waste presentation rules page.

Please do not put glass in any other bin or sack.

Flats are provided with a communal glass bin.

 

Accepted items

Please rinse items before recycling.

  • All colour glass bottles
  • All colour glass jars
  • Broken glass bottles and jars

If the item you want to dispose of is not on this list, or you want to check if it can be recycled, search for how it on the Love Essex website.
