Recycling glass has always been difficult in the past, as it had to be colour separated which is not only difficult to achieve but also time consuming. There is now an alternative for mixed colours that has become viable since the government via the Packaging Regulations raised the recovery target for glass and also due to the aggregates tax. The glass collected is used as the recyclable content in aggregates for road building etc.
Glass represents a very small volume of the waste produced by most commercial premises, but due to its weight it can make a significant contribution to recycling figures. Mixed coloured glass can be collected in 240 litre or 660 litre Waste Wheeler Container(s).
A busy working environment like a pub or a club needs a simple straightforward system that is environmentally acceptable. Ask us about our Mixed Glass Collections today and find how recycling can save both time and money.
