Belfast City Council is extending kerbside glass recycling to an additional 23,000 households in east and west Belfast from Monday 10 February. This marks the first phase of a three-year programme aimed at improving recycling services for the 70,000 households that currently do not have kerbside glass collections.
Households included in this phase will receive a 44-litre glass collection box for fortnightly collections, with information and delivery taking place up to March 2025. The service, part-funded by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), will be further expanded in phases two and three in 2025/26 and 2026/27, subject to funding approval.
This initiative will enhance recycling accessibility, increase the amount of household waste recycled, and support the circular economy by processing collected materials locally.
Residents not yet included in the kerbside service can continue to recycle glass at household recycling centres or bottle banks across the city. Further details are available on our Glass recycling at home page.
