Glass
Residents are able to recycle their household glass bottles and jars for free in the glass skip bins at any of Council’s Resource Recovery Centres.
What goes in the glass skip?

What happens to your glass?
Materials collected are recycled and used in either construction or turned into other glass material. By separating the glass from recycling, Council is increasing the amount of grass that is recycled and reducing contamination through the yellow bin.
