Recycling for Business

Glass

For any business that generates quantities of glass and cans – such as restaurants, bars and other forms of catering and leisure – Creation recycling offers an easy, no-fuss, low cost service to help you do your bit for the environment.

We collect any type of glass bottles and food jars.

All we ask is for you to separate these into each colour – clear/white, amber (brown), and green. We will provide you with three free of charge wheelie bins for each colour. (There will be a small charge for additional bins required).

What's the connection between a glass bottle and a load of nonsense? In the 1870s, Hiram Codd invented a glass bottle with a marble stopper. Millions of these were made, particularly in South Yorkshire, and were used for the cheap beer known as wallop. The beer became known as 'coddswallop' and the word was found so useful, it passed into everyday language.

Recycling glass

Waste glass is a valuable material and glass can be recycled 100 per cent, nothing wasted. It's particularly easy to recycle the old bottles and jars everyone throws away in large quantities and there are real advantages for the community.

Recycling glass saves energy in the furnaces. It takes much less heat to melt scrap glass than to fire the raw ingredients for new glass.


- and energy saved means less global-warming gases and pollutants from the power stations.

Recycling glass saves landfill space because
At the moment a lot of that still ends up in landfill sites, where it makes a big contribution to the ever-growing heaps.

If you require all three materials – ie. glass, cans and paper/card - collecting in the same collection on the same date then you only be charge for the higher price material collected.
