Glass: Recycling
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has made an assessment of the cost of expanding bring banks for glass recycling.
- Answer
-
Simpler Recycling requires local authorities in England to collect core recyclable waste streams from households, including glass. In our guidance we set an expectation that households should receive an equivalent collection service for recycling as they do for residual waste services. In practice this means collecting directly from households.
Bring banks should only be provided to supplement collections from households.
