Glass Containers

Glass bottles and jars are accepted curbside in many, but not all, U.S. cities, some programs require drop-off instead. Window glass, mirrors, and drinking glasses are generally not recyclable through container-glass programs.

Curbside recycling?

Varies by location

Varies significantly by city, some curbside programs accept glass containers, others require a separate drop-off, and some don't collect glass at all. Check your local program.

How to prepare it

  • Rinse containers
  • Remove lids (recycle separately depending on material)
