Where to recycle a sheet of glass

at1withmyself

Anyone know where I could recycle a sheet of glass, its about 0.6m squared. I checked the Rehab website but not finding anything on it?

Thanks.

You could break it up and just stick the pieces in a bottle bank?
Otherwise I don't know sorry.

You could ask a place that cuts glass, they usually have a bin for scraps. They might even use it !

check with the enviornment dept. of the county council.

I once had to get rid of a large pane of glass, i just went out the back of the house, smashed it and put all the pieces in the grey bin. took me hours to pick up all the bits though
