The authority said it had worked closely with contractors to “ensure that the necessary infrastructure is fully in place to manage the expected increase in recycled glass tonnage effectively”.
A glass collection pilot scheme, which began in May 2024 and expanded to other parts of the borough that December, led “to increased recycling rates”, the council said.
Nicola Gribble, an independent councillor at the authority and portfolio holder for environment, said: “The strong response to our trial proves that residents want to recycle more glass, and making this part of regular collections is a straightforward way to help our environment and reduce waste.”
