Bins and recycling - Glass dishes/bowls

Item Glass dishes/bowls
Which bin/container should I use? Red top bin
What can you do with it?

This type of glass has a different melting temperature to jars and bottles so they can't be placed in the purple top bin.

If your glass dishes/bowls are in good condition, why not check if your local charity shop are accepting these types of donations.

Broken glass dishes/bowls can be placed inside the red top bin, please ensure you wrap them up safely.
