Bottles & jars

Glass jars can be reused as storage containers or can be filled with home made preserves or pickles. Alternatively, glass bottles and jars can be recycled at all of Merseyside's 14 Household Waste Recycling Centres except Rainford (Southerns Lane). Please remove tops and lids and rinse bottles before placing in the container. Glass bottles and jars can be recycled in your local councils kerbside recycling collection service, and at local bottle banks. Please separate glass into colours (blue bottles can go into green bottle banks) and remove the lids. Buy milk in glass bottles and return them for reuse or buy economy size bottles which create less waste.
