About GlassBag — Doorstep Glass Recycling in Ireland

Mark and David, founders of GlassBag doorstep glass recycling

What is GlassBag?

GlassBag is a doorstep glass bottle and jar recycling service for households across all Dublin postcodes, North Wicklow, North Kildare and South Meath.

Who runs GlassBag?

GlassBag was started by Mark and David after repeated frustration with full bottle banks and the hassle of recycling glass by car.

Why was the service created?

The service was built to give households a practical alternative to bottle-bank trips, queues and overflowing bring banks.

GlassBag is a doorstep glass bottle and jar recycling service for households across all Dublin postcodes, North Wicklow, North Kildare and South Meath. We collect your glass from your door — a convenient alternative to the bottle bank.

It was started by us, Mark and David, because we were fed up with how difficult it was to recycle all the glass we were getting through each month. Every time we went to the bottle bank it was full and overflowing — so we decided to do something about it.

Our Partners

We work with trusted partners across Ireland's waste management and recycling industry. See all our waste and recycling partners.

We partner with Glint Glass Studio, who turn waste glass bottles into beautifully repurposed glassware and ornaments. They're a great example of the circular economy in action — your recycled glass gets a second life.

Friends of Glass is a community that promotes glass packaging for three reasons: health, taste and sustainability. Glass is 100% recyclable, infinitely reusable without losing quality, and made from natural materials.

Unlike other packaging, glass is completely inert — it won't leach chemicals or alter the taste of your food and drinks. That's why we're proud to support the Friends of Glass mission of promoting a more sustainable lifestyle through glass.
