Glass Bottles & Jars

Single-use glass bottles and jars (wine bottles, pickle jars etc.) should go in recycling, and they should be empty, clean, and dry.

Glass bottles & jars are accepted at all LRSWMD drop-off locations.

Broken glass of any kind should go in household trash.

Pane glass (windows, mirrors, picture frames, etc.) should go in household trash.

DID YOU KNOW?
Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours, power a computer for 30 minutes, or operate a television for 20 minutes.

GLASS BOTTLE REDEMPTION + DONATION OPTIONS
Thanks to Vermont’s bottle bill, many glass bottles (soda, beer, liquor) can be redeemed for 5 cents apiece at a certified redemption center, including at our Stowe site. Or, you can bring your cans (and glass bottles) to our Stowe site to donate the redemption amount to United Way Lamoille County and the Lamoille Community Food Share, or to our Johnson site to donate to the Lamoille Area Cancer Network.
