Sorting instructions for glass packaging
Yes
Empty, with caps and lids removed
- Glass bottles
- Glass jars
Collars and labels do not need to be removed.
Rinse dirty glass containers with cold water or wipe with paper. Return the glass bottles to the return machine in the shop.
If the glass packaging contains residues of hazardous substances (e.g. medicines, nail varnish, perfume), take the packaging to your local hazardous waste collection point.
Do not sort waste that does not belong in glass packaging.
Examples include glass tableware, porcelain, ceramics, crystal glass, window or mirror glass, lamps and lighting fixtures.
If incorrectly sorted, some wastes such as batteries and accumulators and electrical and electronic equipment can cause hazards such as fires. You can find the nearest collection point for other waste at kierrätys.info.
