You cannot recycle glass in the grey bin in Perth and Kinross. Glass must be disposed of at designated glass recycling points or Household Recycling Centres, as it cannot be mixed with other recyclables due to potential contamination issues that could affect the quality of the recycling process.
Here's a quick reference for what can and cannot be recycled in the grey bin:
| Recyclable Items | Non-Recyclable Items |
|---|---|
| Rinsed and squashed plastics | Glass |
| Empty and rinsed metals | Contaminated items, such as food waste |
| Rinsed cartons (e.g. Tetra Packs) | Nappies and textiles |
| Unbagged soft plastics | Electrical items (including batteries) |
Be sure to check your local recycling points for glass recycling options. For more information about recycling services, you can visit the Perth & Kinross Council Recycling page.
