Suspension of glass recycling collection service

Update on suspension of glass recycling collection service

Updated at 11.05am on Thursday 19 December 2024

• Our glass recycling collection service is suspended due to pressures on our staff numbers. This affects households that have a purple or black glass recycling box. All other bin and box collections are running as normal, including wheelie boxes.
• We are working hard to put measures in place which will ensure our glass recycling service is back up and running in the coming weeks. We will update our website and social media channels with information, once the service resumes.

Sorry for this inconvenience. 

What can I do with my glass recycling?

You can take glass recyclables to your nearest bottle bank. If you have access to transport, you can bring glass recyclables to your nearest recycling centre. We appreciate this will not be possible for everyone.

• On the news section, https://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/news, if you select 30 results per page, it shows 30 results on the first page, as expected. 
  • But if you go to page two, it reverts to the standard 10 results per page and so you’re technically only 20 results in now. This also occurs on https://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/audios?&page=1&pagesize=30 
  • ZESTY DEV: https://belfastcity-k13.zestydev.com/news?&pagesize=30 – on the second page it is not showing 30 posts currently as there are not enough posts in news – it will be better to gauge on live where there are more news posts
