Glass

There must be a recycling bin for waste glass when there are a minimum of five households within the property. The community management will maintain recycling points for other homes in different areas of the city. From the links listed below can be found those recycling points in the areas according to the postal code, where there is a recycling bin for waste glass:

40100	40200	40250	40320	40340	40400

The following can also be placed in the recycling bin for waste glass:

	clear and coloured glass
	glass ware and articles
	glass bottles
	preserving and baby food jars NO porcelain, ceramics, crystal or stone NO window, mirror or car windscreen glass NO light bulbs or fluorescent tubes NO heat resistant glass (e.g. oven ware)

The jars and bottles need to be rinsed out before taking them in to the recycling bin. The metal and plastic parts, lids and bottle tops must be removed. It is not necessary to remove the labels or bottle neck rings.

For example, heat insulators (fibreglass), new glass packaging, eco-tiling and window glass is produced from recycled glass.
