Commercial glass waste collection
Regular and reliable glass recycling collection makes managing your commercial waste easy and efficient. Keep your premises clean and clear with frequent removals by licensed professionals. We can provide daily, weekly, or fortnightly glass waste collection from companies anywhere in the UK at convenient times and dates to suit your operations.
Licensed waste carriers will pick up your used glass, which ensures it’s removed safely and legally and transported to a nearby recycling facility. Whether you need bottle collection or have a mix of broken windowpanes, jars, or any other type of old glass items, we can help.
Fill each glass recycling bin within its weight limit and place it at the agreed pickup point ahead of the collection time. Combine the best number and sizes of bins with a removal frequency to organise cost-effective glass recycling collection for your business. If you’ve got limited space you might want daily removals, for example.

Glass recycling
Our glass recycling services provide your business with bins, collection, and responsible disposal whatever your industry and size. Many businesses neglect glass recycling due to a lack of on-site storage facilities. We provide a range of free bins and containers with regular collection schedules to eliminate this issue.
Under the new Simpler Recycling rules, all businesses must eventually separate glass from non-recyclable waste. This could be with individual glass waste recycling collections or combined with other dry recyclables. The new rules apply from the end of March 2025 for companies in England with ten or more full-time employees and from the end of March 2027 for those with fewer.
All glass is recycled from your business. It’s taken to a nearby recycling facility by licensed waste carriers where it’s then checked, sorted, and recycled. Glass of any colour is infinitely recyclable, so it’s converted into new materials used to create fresh products. This contributes to the circular economy and reduces waste sent to landfill.
Commercial glass disposal
All glass is disposed of away from landfill and recycled with our services. We work with suppliers across the UK to deliver reliable local and national removals and disposal of glass waste. You receive a free duty of care that confirms your used glass is removed, transported, and recycled responsibly.
Responsible disposal of glass waste is important for every business. It ensures the material is recovered and reused to create new items while avoiding sending glass to landfill. This helps protect the environment and saves your company money as you’ll pay less landfill tax when disposing of glass.
Any type and volume of glass waste can be removed and disposed of responsibly including empty drink bottles, jars for food and cosmetics, and broken glass. Disposing of glass is easy, effective, and environmentally friendly with our commercial recycling services.

What is
glass waste?
Waste glass is any used or broken products made completely from glass that no longer serves its intended purpose. It could be anything from a broken windowpane to empty beer and wine bottles or jam jars. If your business produced, used, or is throwing it away, then it classes as commercial glass waste.
Glass waste covers a very wide area and touches almost every business in one way or another. Some of the most common examples of glass waste within the commercial world include:
- Glass bottles – used or broken bottles used for drinks, oil, and other liquids
- Jars – glass jars for food, cosmetics, and other products
- Glassware – drinking glasses, vases, and broken or unneeded glassware
- Plates and panes – double and single glazed windowpanes
