We Collect & Recycle your Glass

Collection will be made either fortnightly or 4 weekly depending on your requirements and these will be shown on your uplift calendar and announced on all our social media channels the day before. On the day of collection, we require your box kerbside or in an agreed location, our operatives will arrive, empty your glass into our vehicle and replace your box in a safe location. Once we uplift your glass it is taken to our holding bay in Alloa where we then transport, 28tonne at a time to a recycling plant to be turned into glass cullet. This glass cullet is then used in the making of new glass bottles at O-I in Alloa

We accept glass bottles and jars of all colours, all types of Wine, Beer and Spirits along with Pasta Sauce, Coffee & Jam Jars. Any Jars which have contained food should be emptied and rinsed out. Please remember certain household product glass such as Mirrors, Pyrex, Drinking Glasses and Light Bulbs cannot be recycled in your box and should be upcycled or disposed of in general waste.

Fortnightly collection £3 per uplift paid at £6 per month via Direct Debit.

Four weekly collection £3.50 per uplift paid monthly via Direct Debit.

Please see all locations listed on our Home Page.

No. You can cancel at any point, but we really hope you will love our service and even spread the word!

We try to ensure the glass we collect causes as little a carbon footprint as possible. We offload our mixed coloured glass daily at our yard in Alloa. From here we transport 28tonne at a time to be cleaned and sorted out into green, brown, and clear glass cullet. This glass cullet is then sent back to manufacturers like O-I in Alloa who then use this glass cullet during the manufacturing process, replacing raw materials (up to 60%). Your old glass bottle or jar could even be back on the shelf as a brand-new glass product within as quickly as 30 days!

Our preferred method of payment is through our secure payment provider GoCardless.

If you would rather pay in a different format, please email info@thebottlegenies.com
