Changes to glass collections from 1 October 2024
Good news! From Tuesday 1 October 2024, glass collections will move from monthly to fortnightly.
We collect glass every four weeks from all homes in the district.
You should put glass bottles and jars (without corks or lids) into your 38 litre glass box.
Glass boxes should weigh under 5.5kg. Each loader picks up around 3,500 glass boxes per week and overloading can lead to injury.
What can (and can't) go in your bins
There are large 10,700 litre skip-sized bottle banks around the district.
If you arrive at a bottle bank and it is full, please do not leave glass around the bin, as this can cause a hazard for crews, residents and wildlife.
Please ensure that you put rinsed bottles and jars (without corks or lids) into the bins, as you would your glass box.
You can report a problem with a bottle bank through your MyEHDC account.
