- 1). Check with the county you live in by calling the department of public works to determine what type of glass to recycle and where.
- 2). Call 1-800-CLEANUP for state recycling information.
- 3). Rinse and recycle bottle glass of any color, including green, clear and amber through your curbside program if you have one. Most communities do not vary in the type of bottle glass they recycle unless it is a mixed color.
- 4). Throw out anything ceramic, as it will contaminate the glass as it is being recycled.
- 5). Discard mixed color and broken glass - it is hard to sort and can't be recycled. Also leave out mirrors, windows, Pyrex, light bulbs and glass tableware.
- 6). Find out about your state's bottle-deposit laws to see if you can return beverage bottles for cash.
