Heat-resistant, tempered and crystal glass: how to dispose of it in Korea

Use the product information to distinguish an ordinary packaging bottle from heat-resistant, tempered or crystal glass.

Glass and non-burnable waste

How to dispose of it

  1. Use the product information to distinguish an ordinary packaging bottle from heat-resistant, tempered or crystal glass.
  2. Keep these types of glass separate from drink-bottle recycling.
  3. Check the local non-burnable sack or bulky-waste route and protect the item against breakage and injury before setting it out.

Before you put it out

  • A small dish and a large glass panel may require different collection arrangements; check the rules for the item's size and quantity.
  • The required bag or sack is not uniform nationwide. Also read the broken-glass guidance if the item has shattered.
