Recycling Glass with Reclaim

Reclaim offers a range of glass recycling services for the efficient and effective collection of glass bottles and jars.

Using recycled glass bottles and jars in the manufacture of new glass containers provides energy savings, reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and conserves natural resources. Glass is uniquely sustainable as it can be recycled again and again without loss in quality, purity, or clarity.

Reclaim collects around 900 tonnes of glass bottles and jars each month and arranges for this to be made into new products. By recycling your glass, you will reduce your cost of waste to landfill and ensure that an important resource is not wasted.

If we are not yet collecting your glass, please get in touch with us.
