Glass Recycling Collection for London Businesses
Our glass bottle recycling service helps London businesses handle waste safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with environmental standards. We make the process straightforward — from setting up collections to ensuring every bottle is properly recycled into useful materials.
What Glass Bottle Recycling Includes
Our glass recycling collection is designed to manage all types of glass bottles and jars your business produces safely and efficiently. We collect:
Glass bottles – including wine, beer, and spirit bottles
Glassware & crockery – drinking glasses, plates, bowls, and cups
Jars – from sauces, condiments, and other food products
Mixed clear and coloured glass – accepted together in the same bin or bag
There’s no need to crush glass before collection — full bottles are safer to handle and reduce dust hazards. We’ll provide 240-litre Euro bins or clear bags depending on your space and collect them as often as required.
Collection Options
We supply 240-litre Euro bins for glass bottle recycling and swap full bins for empty ones as often as you require. If you have limited space, clear bags can be provided instead. Collections are arranged around your business needs to ensure smooth, reliable service.
Safe Handling
There’s no need to crush glass before collection — crushed glass becomes too heavy to move safely, and crushing equipment is costly and creates unnecessary dust. Keeping bottles intact ensures cleaner, safer handling for everyone on-site.
Recycling Process
All collected glass is sent to approved recycling facilities, where it’s processed into aggregate and used in construction projects or used to make new glass bottles. This helps reduce environmental impact and supports our zero-landfill commitment.
* Keeping Waste Streams Correct
You must ensure no food or glass is put into the mixed recycling. Following this guideline helps keep your recycling percentage high and ensures all collected materials can be properly processed.
Greener World London makes glass bottle recycling straightforward for businesses across London. We provide the right collection setup for your space — whether that’s Euro bins or clear bags — and tailor collection times to your operation.
All glass is sent to licensed recycling facilities, where it’s processed into new materials and reused within the construction industry, supporting a true zero-landfill approach.

We’re here to make your business' commercial waste management as straightforward as possible. Find answers to some of our most common questions.
Still have questions?
How quickly can you start collecting our waste?
Once we’ve discussed your requirements and agreed a service plan, we can usually deliver bins and begin collections within just a few days. Our team handles all the setup, explains the process to your staff and makes sure everything is in place so you can start benefiting from reliable waste management almost immediately.
Are your vehicles more environmentally friendly than large waste trucks?
Yes. We use smaller, low-emission vans instead of heavy HGV waste trucks. They produce significantly less noise and pollution, and are able to access loading bays and tight spaces without causing disturbance. This means collections are quieter, cleaner, and more discreet — especially important for hotels, restaurants, and businesses in residential or busy central areas.
Do you guarantee zero landfill?
Yes. All waste we collect is taken to licensed recycling or recovery facilities to achieve zero landfill. We work with trusted partners to ensure your waste is processed responsibly, and we provide clear reporting so you can demonstrate your environmental performance to customers, regulators or corporate stakeholders.
Can collections be scheduled outside business hours?
Absolutely. We specialise in stealth night-time collections using smaller, quieter vehicles designed to reach tight loading bays without disturbing your operations or neighbours. This means you can separate waste from fresh deliveries, free up space, and avoid congestion or noise complaints during busy trading hours.
What areas do you cover?
We collect business waste across London and the surrounding areas including the City of London, London West End, Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington, Chelsea, Wembley, Middlesex, Slough, Windsor, and the M4 Corridor up to Maidenhead. If you’re unsure whether your location is covered, just get in touch and our team will confirm availability or arrange a bespoke solution for you.
What is your service guarantee?
We guarantee that if you’re not satisfied with our service during the first month, we’ll remove your bins and you won’t be charged. Beyond that, we commit to reliable, on-time collections, flexible scheduling to suit your business, and responsive support whenever you need it—ensuring your waste management runs smoothly without disruption.
