Lyco Recycling is the number 1 independently owned glass collection company in the UK
Lyco collect glass recycling across Staffordshire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands & Worcestershire.
Glass recycling offers environmental benefits by conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption and pollution, and saving landfill space. It also has economic benefits for businesses and communities by lowering disposal costs and can be turned into new products, as glass is 100% and endlessly recyclable

Food Recycling Collections
Food waste
You must collect separate food waste, even if the workplace does not serve food or have a kitchen – please see more on Simpler Recycling legislation below.
This rule applies no matter how little food waste you have. You should not ask members of staff to take food waste home.
Food waste might include:
- food leftovers, including from customer or staff meals
- banana skins and apple cores
- coffee grounds and tea bags
- waste from food preparation, such as onion skins
Simpler Recycling – All workplaces in England must separate their waste before it’s collected, including any waste produced by employees, customers and visitors.
You must always separate:
Non-recyclable waste (also called residual waste)
Dry recyclable materials (plastic, metal, glass, paper and card)
