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.

Why
recycle glass?
There are lots of good reasons, from the purely personal to the global,
but these are two of the main ones: |
| 
|
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.
