How it works: CompostNow Home Service Members in Atlanta can subscribe to an add-on recycling service for food-grade glass collection alongside their compost pick-up.

Once subscribed to this service, you'll receive your glass recycling container on your next compost collection day. When ready for collection, simply put your glass recycling container out beside your compost bin on your collection day. This service is currently limited to 1 container per household.

Includes: Food-grade glass like glass bottles and jars (clear, green, or brown).

Not Included: Flat and/or non-food-grade glass like windows, mirrors, ceramics, and vases.

Tip: If you purchased the glass with food or liquid in it, then it's accepted in our program and is food-grade! If you purchased the glass without food or liquid in it (ie vases, ceramics, mirrors, windows, etc) then it is not accepted.

Instructions: Food-grade glass must be empty, clean, and dry. Remove caps and corks. We cannot take any glass placed outside of the container.

Where Does It Go: Sibelco to be turned into new glass items or insulation.
