So why segregate and recycle your glass?

Save a fortune on overweight charges –

The cost savings from recycling glass often saves commercial businesses hundreds of pounds a year. Glass waste takes up a lot of room and weight in your general waste or recycling bin, often customers find they can decrease the size of their general waste bin by segregating glass, saving a small fortune.

Customers paying excess weight charges – if you are a general waste pay by weight customer and pay overweight charges then segregating your glass waste will save you a lot of money! And if you are not a general waste pay by weight customer now or you do not currently pay overweight charges now its likely you will be in the near future. Please see some excess weight cost comparisons example below ;

Average weight of a 240L glass bin 50kg

Average weight of a 360L glass bin 75kg

Average general waste excess weight charge – 15p per kg

Average dried mixed recycling excess weight charge 10p per kg

240 litres worth of glass in a general waste bin would cost – £7.50

240 litres worth of glass in DMR would cost £5 per

360 litres worth of glass in a general waste bin would cost – £11.25

360 litres worth of glass in DMR would cost £7.50

So just one Lyco 360 litre glass bin based on a weekly collection could save you £585 per year! If you produce enough glass for two 360 litres which many of our recycling partners do, you could be saving over £1000 a year! Three bins…

”Recycling glass is one of the many ways we can help reduce pollution and waste. Everyday we throw away tones of rubbish and glass is a significant part of it. Instead of letting landfills pile up with glass objects that are a threat to safety and the environment, we can use it again” World Wide Fund (WWF) for nature

As well as the positive environmental impact, it will help you reduce the cost of your waste collections. Many waste management companies now charge by weight for general waste collections which can be very costly – this is often due to the increasing tipping rates and taxes to have your waste dumped into landfill. Reducing the weight of your general waste bin by installing a Lyco Recycling glass bin is not only greener but cheaper too!

So… What do we do with your glass waste once collected?

Once collected your glass will be processed for recycling, this type of recycling is known as a “Closed Loop” system, where waste material is turned back into its original form. Check out our glass processing page for further details.
