Can broken bottles and jars be put in the kerbside box?
There is no reason why a broken glass bottle or jar cannot be recycled – bottles get smashed when dropped into the public glass banks. However, for safety reasons please do not put broken glass bottles and jars into the kerbside box as this will be left on the edge of your property for collection, and may be a risk to pedestrians and the collection crew. Please wrap the broken glass in paper and place in your refuse bin, or put the glass only into a recycling bank yourself.
