⚪🟢🟤Glass

Glass containers are meant for packaging glass: if it stored food, drink, or liquid in a store when you bought it, then it can probably go in the glass bin.

• • 🟩Green Glass bin: 🟢🔴🔵Green, red, and blue glass

  • 🟫Brown glass: 🟤brown glass

  • ⬜White glass: ⚪white glass

  • Glass bottles

    • Pfand bottles should be returned to the store properly, like wine or mineralwasser bottles. You get 25 cents back!

  • Jars (e.g., jam, pickle, mustard jars). You can put the lid in the gelbe sack. You can also keep the lid attached-- it does not matter.

  • Perfume/cologne bottles

Tip: If you bought the glass in the store and it didn't have food or liquid in it when you bought it, then you should not be putting the glass in the glass depositories.

No! Glasses do not have to be washed before you deposit them. Do not waste water!

Glas should be "löffelrein” = spoon clean (empty like you have taken a spoon and scraped it out), but not perfectly clean. Even a Nutella jar is fine with some Nutella stuck to the side.

Metal lids to jars and glasses can be attached when you dispose of them. A magnet will sort the metal lids out at the recycling plant, and the labels will rub off the broken glass. It is best to dispose of plastic lids in the Gelbe sack.
