Glass

Bottles and jars of all colours can be recycled at the Public Recycling Sites or via your Kerbside Recycling Scheme if you are taking part in Douglas or Braddan. Bottles and jars should be rinsed but the lid/cap can now be replaced since it will be recycled when the glass is processed. 

Please note: Ceramics and glazing glass cannot be recycled through the Public Recycling Sites, so please do not deposit these glass types in the banks. 

Glass is delivered to Corlett’s of Ballaharra, St Johns where it is processed to produce ‘Eco-sand’, a substitute for sand which would otherwise need to be extracted. For more information please visit the Corlett’s website.
