Some community recycling programs will require you to sort glass bottles by color when you put them in a recycling bin. Check with your local recycling program for more information on their policy.
Glass bottles that are not designed to hold food or drink, such as glass vases, are not usually recyclable.
Cleaning the bottles will make recycling them more efficient. In some communities, bottles cannot be recycled unless they are free of dirt and food.
Most communities will hand out a free recycling bin for each household.
Look for a map of recycling bin locations in your area on your community’s website.
Do not put fresh food in glass bottles, as it may not keep. Only put dry goods in the bottles. You can also use the bottles around your home to organize hair ties, lipsticks, and office supplies. [10] X Expert Source Natalie Kay SmithSustainable Fashion Writer Expert Interview. 25 May 2021.
