Glass Bottles

Yes glass bottles can be reused and recycled.

REUSE

• You can reuse your glass bottles for liquids in refill shops across Brighton & Hove. 

RECYCLED
Where?

• Glass bottles can be included in your kerbside or communal bin recycling BUT in a separate bin. You can include the metal lids, e.g. wine bottle lids, etc. These can be included because the companies who actually recycle your glass bottles are able to separate the metal from the glass.
• You can take them to the Brighton Household Waste & Recycling site on Wilson Avenue or the Hove Household Waste & Recycling site on the Old Shoreham Road. See here for exact locations and opening times. For more details contact City Clean on 01273 292929.

How?

• Please make sure your glass bottles are clean.
