Local sorting
What goes in the green bin?
Green can mean glass in one place, organics in another, or a different stream entirely. The local label is the deciding source.
Complete answer
The answer
Where green is used for container glass, the service may accept bottles and jars while excluding drinking glasses, mirrors, ceramics and heat-resistant glass. Where green is used for organics, packaging glass obviously does not belong there.
Because colour conventions vary so much, never use a generic international colour chart as a substitute for local instructions.
What to do
- Read the container label.
- Identify whether green means glass, organics or another stream locally.
- Follow local exclusions.
