Glass Recycling
Please recycle all glass jars and bottles at the glass banks. They must be separated into the correct receptacle for green, brown or clear glass. This is because the colours are recycled separately.
Blue glass can go in with the green. If you have a painted bottle, look around the rim for the original colour, and put it in that bank.
Using the glass banks
Please avoid using glass banks at night, to minimise the noise nuisance to neighbouring properties. Many sites have a rubbish bin for bags and boxes; if there is not one, please take them home with you, to ensure the site is kept clean and tidy.
Lids should be removed. Metal jar lids can go in the blue top bins at home, but metal bottle lids are too small and are screened out by the sorting process at the recycling plant. They should be thrown away.
Only glass jars and bottles can be put in the recycling banks. Other sorts of glass must not go in because they are different and cannot be recycled together. Window glass, drinking glasses, light bulbs, pyrex and glass cookware, spectacles, fluorescent tubes and any other glass must not be put in a glass bank.
We make every effort to maintain recycling bank sites in a clean and tidy condition. Please contact us to report any problems, or if you have any other comments about recycling and waste. You can email us at customerservices@fareham.gov.uk or telephone 01329 236100.
