Glass food and beverage containers may be recycled with your regular recycling program but check first because some transfer stations require that the glass be recycled separately. Most programs require that you rinse the containers. If the lid or cap is less than 2″ in diameter, throw it in the trash. Smaller lids/caps fall through the grates at a MRF (Material Recovery Facility.) Labels do not need to be removed.
NOTE: In most cases*, you cannot recycle light bulbs, window glass, china, crystal, ceramics, mirrors or drinking glasses with food and beverage glass. Even in very small amounts, these items contaminate regular recycled glass. Ask your transfer station operator or trash hauler for guidance.
