Trade Glass Collections
The Council are currently unable to collect glass from non-domestic premises. Whilst glass collections are being reviewed, trade glass can be disposed of in one of our Community Glass Banks.
Please note that trade recycling must not be placed in domestic recycling bags. Trade recycling placed in domestic bags may result in enforcement action.
