Recycling / Glass Recycling
Glass recycling for pubs, bars and restaurants.
Glass is endlessly recyclable but heavy and dangerous mixed in with other waste. We collect bottles and jars separately so they recycle cleanly and your general waste stays lighter.
Commercial & trade only — not a domestic service.
Glass is one of the few materials that can be recycled forever with no loss of quality, but only if it is kept separate. Mixed into general waste it shatters, contaminates other recyclables and pushes up your weight-based disposal costs. Hospitality sites in particular get through huge volumes. We provide bottle bins sized for your bar or kitchen, collect them on a schedule that fits service, and send the glass to be remelted into new containers. Less weight in your general bin, more recycled, cleaner sorting all round.
Who it is for: Pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, clubs and event venues.
Bottle bins that fit
From under-counter to external eurobins, sized to your bar and storage.
Collected around service
Schedules built around busy nights and quiet mornings, not the other way round.
Lighter general waste
Pulling heavy glass out usually drops your general waste cost too.

FAQ
Glass Recycling, common questions.
Do you take all colours of glass?
Yes, mixed colours are fine; they are separated downstream. We take bottles and jars. Please keep out ceramics, Pyrex and drinking glasses, which are a different material.
Can you collect around opening hours?
Yes. Hospitality is most of what we do, so we build collection windows around service and access rather than forcing a fixed slot.
Will separating glass save money?
Often, yes. Glass is heavy, and if you pay for general waste by weight, moving it to a dedicated glass stream usually lowers the overall bill.
Is this a commercial service or for households?
Commercial only. FJL is a business waste and recycling provider, not a domestic service. We collect from offices, shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, warehouses, industrial units and trade sites. If you run a business and produce this waste, we can take it.
How does pricing work?
A clear monthly price based on the containers and collection frequency you need, with no long lock-ins. Fuel surcharges and any price changes are flagged in writing before they apply, and most businesses that switch to us pay less than they did before.
Do you provide the bins and containers?
Yes. We supply the right containers for the stream and your space as part of the service, from caddies and clear sacks to 240 to 1100 litre wheelie bins and larger containers for higher volumes.
How quickly can we start?
Usually within the same week. Call before 11am and we can often arrange a same-week start, and we will handle the changeover if you are leaving another provider.
