Keep ceramics, crockery and mirrors separate from bottle-glass collection, even when they look similar to glass.

Glass and non-burnable waste

How to dispose of it

  1. Keep ceramics, crockery and mirrors separate from bottle-glass collection, even when they look similar to glass.
  2. Separate removable frames or other materials and protect sharp or broken edges.
  3. Check the local non-burnable-waste method for small items and whether a large mirror needs bulky-waste collection.

Before you put it out

  • Bag, special-sack and reporting requirements vary locally. Check your district's instructions before buying a disposal bag.
  • If the crockery or mirror is still usable, consider whether it can be reused before disposal.
