The Weight of Glass

Glass is heavy, dense, and requires particular handling. Its weight influences the collection and transportation process significantly. In recognition of this, and for the safety and efficiency of our processes:

  • Bin Size Limitation: We offer a 240 Litre bin exclusively for glass waste collections. This size is optimal to ensure safe handling, efficient transportation, and effective recycling without overburdening our systems or risking breakages.

Why Glass Recycling Matters

  1. Sustainability: Glass can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity, unlike other recyclable materials.
  2. Energy Conservation: Using recycled glass to produce new glass containers reduces energy requirements significantly.
  3. Eco-Impact: Recycling glass reduces the need for raw materials, thus minimising environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.

From Shard to Sparkle: The Glass Recycling Process

  1. Collection: With our specialised 240 Litre bins, we ensure timely collections across Humberside.
  2. Sorting: At our dedicated facilities, glass is sorted by colour and contaminants are removed.
  3. Crushing: The glass is then crushed into tiny pieces, known as cullet.
  4. Melting & Moulding: This cullet is melted and moulded into new glass products, completing the recycling loop.
  5. Back to the Shelves: The recycled glass products are reintroduced to the market, ready for reuse.
