Glass Recycling

The roll out of a new colour separated glass recycling scheme throughout West Lothian is now underway. You can find details of your nearest glass recycling point below.

West Lothian Council has increased the number of glass recycling bins in the area since receiving £435,000 of grant funding from Zero Waste Scotland. The funding increased the number of glass locations for public glass recycling banks from 36 to 200. 

This new collection system ensures that West Lothian Council complies with the Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012, which require the collection of glass from householders.

Improvements

In addition, the council has also introduced new housings which encase the bin, helping to reduce noise and enabling collection via our split compartment vehicle, which greatly speeds up the collection time. The use of the housings does not change the way residents deposit recyclables, but through the expansion project, accessibility will be improved for all. 

Please remember to consider those living nearby our glass banks and dispose of your glass responsibly and with due consideration.
