Glass bottles, just smash them up. Not much comes in glass these

you're not suposed to put broken glass in recycle bins because of the risk to collectors.


What risk? The bins are wheeled, with the lid closed; picked up by the
machine and emptied into the wagon - glass is likely to break during
tipping into the wagon anyway.


No idea that's what I was told so I haven't done it.
But when they say broken glass I'd always assumed they meant window type glass rather than bottle glass.
But as most of my glass is bottles then it's not a problem for me.

What is a problem is them not reclying wood in the green bins.
You'd think small pieces of wood would be OK.
