Glass

Glass can be recycled. When it comes to glass, there is a difference between glass containers (such as bottles and jars) and flat glass (such as mirrors or window panes).

Here's how it works

Well in the glass container:

  • All glass bottles and jars of drink, food, baby food, makeup, perfume or medicine.
  • Sort by color: white, brown, and green
  • Red and blue glass can be placed in the green glass recycling bin
  • You don't need to clean the bottles and jars
  • The glass can be placed in the glass recycling bin with the lid or cap still on

Not in the glass container:

  • (Drinking) glasses
  • Bowls
  • Pottery
  • Mirrors (= flat glass)
  • Heat-resistant glass (such as a baking dish or ceramic cooktop)
  • Incandescent bulbs / energy-saving bulbs
  • Jenever Jars
  • Flower Pots
  • Crystal
  • Pitchers
  • Porcelain
  • Windows/panes/double-pane glass (= flat glass)
  • Fluorescent tubes (= Household Hazardous Waste)

Take any materials that cannot be placed in the glass recycling bin to the Environmental park. Be sure to bring your recycling pass.

Reinis app (formerly Afvalwijzer)

Through the Reinis app you can:

  • Through the Waste Abc find the right bin for your waste.
  • find information, news and tips about household waste.

Reinis app

You can also download the Reinis app on your smartphone or tablet. You can then set up an automatic notification to remind you when each mini-container will be emptied. All you need to do is enter your ZIP code and house number.
