Glass Recycling

In general, don’t try to use your curbside service to dispose of types of glass that may contain chemicals that pose harm to recycling employees or the glass recycling process. That includes:

  • Windows and mirrors
  • Windshields or other automotive glass
  • Crystal
  • Ceramics
  • Pyrex or other treated glass storage containers
  • Light Bulbs

Always check with your waste management provider for specific instructions on recycling or disposing of this kind of glass.
