Bob,
The ‘Kitchenware’ photo above includes a glass. Does this mean glass including bottles is no longer collected as recycling?
I don’t think drinking glasses, as opposed to bottles, has ever been a recycled item John.
Perhaps you could ask the recycling officer to clarify Bob. From a non-technical point of view glass is glass and what is the difference between a wine/beer bottle, jam jar, pickled onion bottle and a drinking glass? All of which I’ve been recycling for decades. In fact when I was a councillor in Southampton I got the recycling officers to include pictures of other types of glass, instead of just wine bottles, on the posters to try and increase the recycling rates.
Here you are John… http://recycleforlewisham.com/2011/02/09/why-cant-i-recycle-drinking-glasses/
Thank you Bob. Very informative, I knew pub glasses were strengthened, but was unaware domestic drinking glasses were as well.
Cheers Bob. We have a large communal recycling bin up at Anderson Court and tenants are pretty good…though I still periodically post a notice on the main door just to remind people what can/ can’t be recycled. Sandwell is better at this than Birmingham I think cos over in Moseley (aka Muesli), where I used to live, there are just too many bins, so that on collection day some footpaths are completely unpassable without stepping into the road!
