It’s green for go as household glass collections begin in Leeds
Yorkshire Day this year is green for go in Leeds as household glass collections begin for the first time.
From August 1, residents can put glass into their green household recycling bins so it can be recycled as part of the city’s commitment to the environment and improving recycling rates.
The new service is for any colour of glass bottle or jars, including those for wine, spirits, beer, pop, jam, sauces, coffee jars and spreads. Caps, lids and labels can be left on ready for collection. They can all now go in green household bins along with paper, cardboard, plastic and metal that can already be easily recycled from home.
