What Glass can NOT be recycled?

- plate glass
- window glass
- mirrors
- light bulbs*
- ceramics or kitchen cookware (glass pans, measuring cups, etc.).

Why can't glass be recycled curbside?
Glass is no longer accepted at curbside because it often breaks in the cart. Glass shards mix with paper and other recyclables, which then damages recycling processing equipment, lowers the value of the recycled paper, increases processing costs and poses a danger to workers at the sorting stations.
Please sort the glass by color as marked on the collection site containers. This ensures maximum recyclability for the recycled glass.
