Reduced waste ending up in landfillsAdvice
All recycling points have glass collection bins for the three main colours of glass. The three bins collect:
• Clear glass for clear glass bottles, broken glass drinking glasses, etc
• Brown glass for brown glass bottles
• Green glass for green glass bottles and Blue glass bottles.
Bottles should be washed after your dishes have been cleaned. This will stop an environmental problem arising from solving another.
Other Sustainable considerations:
Glass and some of the other materials need to be stored so children can't hurt themselves. Consider making the storage of these materials secure.
