Glass is collected at drop-off sites in Pierce County
Because glass breaks during collection and processing, it contaminates the other recyclables. Even without curbside collection, there is
very little glass in our waste stream.
Our program is designed to collect material that is recycled into new products. Glass collected separately at drop-off sites has a much better chance of being recycled.
To prepare glass for drop-off, please give containers a quick rinse. Discard lids.
Glass drop-off is for food containers (bottles and jars). See our
Advanced Recycling page for what to do with other types of glass.
