Glass Recycling

Glass recycling services vary across New Zealand, with most areas requiring separate collection for glass bottles and jars. Whether it's mixed or colour-separated glass, WM New Zealand offers reliable solutions to manage and recycle all your glass waste safely. In some regions, glass can be included in the mixed recycling bin, but a dedicated glass collection ensures higher quality recycling.

Proper glass recycling helps conserve natural resources, reduces energy consumption in glass production, and minimises waste in landfills. Our services ensure that glass is recycled efficiently and responsibly.
