Why isn’t window glass accepted in my recycling program?
Plate glass or flat glass has a different chemical composition and manufacturing process than container glass. Only container glass, such as food jars and bottles can be recycled together in municipal blue box and depot programs. Keep window glass, drinking glasses, light bulbs, teacups and mirrors out of the recycling bin. Whole pieces of plate glass can be reused and broken plate glass may be recycled at some facilities. Please call the RCBC Recycling Hotline for more information.
