Credit Accounts Business Glass Waste Collection
Implementing glass recycling within your organisation helps contribute to a greener future and saves your business money.
What is Glass Waste?
Waste glass is any used or broken products made completely from glass that no longer serves its intended purpose. It could be anything from a broken windowpane to empty beer and wine bottles or jam jars. If your business produced, used, or is throwing it away, then it classes as commercial glass waste.
Glass is infinitely recyclable, meaning you can recycle it endlessly without its quality degrading. This makes it a highly sustainable material which every business and household should recycle.
Either through dedicated glass recycling bins or combined with other dry recyclables, under the new Simpler Recycling rules, all businesses are legally obligated to eventually separate glass from non-recyclable waste.
Many businesses neglect glass recycling due to a lack of on-site storage facilities.
To eliminate that issue, Mick George Recycling can provide a wide range of free glass waste bins for businesses throughout Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Milton Keynes areas, with no delivery or hire charges – you only pay for collection.
Available in various sizes with flexible collection schedules, we can help whatever you need. Pubs and bars might need daily removals while cafes and other businesses may only need weekly pickups.
