Where Does the Glass End Up, That We Put in the Box for Collection?
The glass collected in the green box is first taken to a materials recycling facility currently based in Coalville. From there it is taken by road to a re-processor, where it is washed, crushed and placed into a furnace to be melted down. The recycled glass is most often used to make new glass bottles. This process can take as little as an hour before a new bottle is created! Did you know recycling one glass bottle or jar saves enough energy to power your TV for one and a half hours?
