About glass scrap
Glass recycles endlessly without quality loss, but it is heavy, low in value per kilogram and dangerous to handle loose. That combination means we take it in quantity — from hotels, bars, canteens, glaziers and construction sites — rather than in household handfuls.
Colour matters to the furnace. Clear, green and brown glass are melted separately, so a colour-sorted load is worth collecting while a mixed heap often is not. Bottles should be empty, roughly rinsed and crated rather than bagged.
Sheet and window glass from glaziers and demolition is a separate stream. It must be crated or racked for transport, and toughened or laminated glass needs to be identified because it is processed differently.
