According to a Fairfax County notification, glass bottles and jars are no longer being accepted in curbside recycling bins as of October 1. Residents now have two options for glass disposal:
- Deliver used glass containers to purple, glass-only recycling containers. There are now 21 purple containers available, and more sites are being evaluated to make dropping off glass more convenient.
- Place used glass in the trash. Please carefully package broken glass in a rigid container. Label the package “GLASS,” and set it out with your trash for disposal.
See Fairfax County’s Glass Recycling Overview for additional information, and to find a purple drop-off bin that is convenient. Thanks for your cooperation!
