Does Broken Glass Go in Recycling or Garbage

Introduction

Many people are often confused about whether broken glass should be disposed of in the recycling bin or the garbage can. This blog post aims to clarify the proper way to dispose of broken glass and why it matters.

Broken Glass Disposal Guidelines

1. Recycling Bin

Broken glass should not be placed in the recycling bin. The shards of glass can contaminate other recyclables and pose a danger to workers at recycling facilities. Instead, follow these steps:

  • Wrap the broken glass in several layers of newspaper or place it in a sturdy box.
  • Label the container as "Broken Glass" to alert waste management workers.
  • Take the container to a designated drop-off location for hazardous waste.

2. Garbage Can

When disposing of broken glass in the garbage can:

  • Ensure the glass is securely wrapped to prevent injuries to sanitation workers.
  • Double-bag the broken glass to minimize the risk of it breaking through the garbage bag.
  • Secure the bag tightly before placing it in the garbage can.

Environmental Impact

Improper disposal of broken glass can have serious environmental consequences. Glass takes thousands of years to decompose and can harm wildlife when not disposed of properly.

Community Safety

Properly disposing of broken glass not only protects the environment but also ensures the safety of waste management workers and community members.

Conclusion

It is essential to handle broken glass with care and dispose of it responsibly. By following the guidelines provided in this blog post, you can help protect the environment and keep your community safe.
