What to Recycle: Glass

What glass materials can you recycle in Montreal? Check out this list of recyclable and non-recyclable glass items, but one page of many in your What To Recycle in Montreal Guide, categorized by material.

If the glass object you wish to recycle is not listed anywhere below, don't hesitate to check with the city of Montreal by dialing 311.

And remember to rinse and/or clean out containers, not just to prevent mold, unpleasant odors and fruit flies from invading your recycling bin, but especially for the sake of recycling centre workers who often manipulate recycled items by hand.
