Glass Recycling Options in Dublin

Dublin has a network of bottle banks and bring centres spread across the city and county. Civic amenity centres in Ringsend, Ballymun and Ballyogan accept glass alongside other recyclable materials, and there are dozens of standalone bottle bank locations at supermarket car parks and community sites. While these facilities do a good job, they require you to store your glass, load it into the car and drive to a drop-off point — often queuing at busy times.

GlassBag offers a simpler alternative. We collect glass bottles and jars directly from your doorstep on a scheduled collection day, so you never have to make another trip to the bottle bank. Just fill your sturdy reusable GlassBag, leave it out, and we take care of the rest. Every piece of glass we collect is sent for recycling.
