The guidance is for households who have a blue bin.
If you don't have a blue bin yet, the items we accept will vary. Guidance for households without a blue bin.
Take glass jars and bottles (any colour) to a glass recycling point. Please leave metal lids on as these will be recovered and recycled as part of the glass recycling process.
You can suggest a location for a new glass recycling point on Engage Angus.
Fluorescent tubes and energy saving light bulbs can be taken to any recycling centre and left in the fluorescent tube container: these items should never be put in your grey or purple bin as they contain hazardous substances.
Other sorts of glass such as mirrors, window panes, fish tanks, old style light bulbs are accepted at Arbroath, Carnoustie, Forfar and Montrose recycling centres as nonrecyclable (general) waste.
Heat resistant cooking ware (such as Pyrex) and drinking glasses can go in the rubble skip.
