Glass

While it’s best to ensure glass isn’t broken when including in your recycling, broken glass bottle and jars can be recycled.

Some charities and optometrists collect used eyeglasses for use in developing countries. Visit RCBC’s Recyclepedia for drop-off options or contact the RCBC Recycling Hotline for all options available in your community.

Plate glass, including glass from windows, picture frames, furniture, and glassware, is not included in the curbside recycling programs in BC because these types of glass have a different chemical composition and manufacturing process than container glass.
