Swords is one of the largest towns in Ireland, and with a growing population comes a lot of glass to recycle. The bottle banks at the Estuary Retail Park and the Swords Pavilions car park handle a steady stream of glass, but they can be overflowing at weekends and awkward to get to with a boot full of bottles. The bring centre at Coolmine Recycling Centre is another option for Fingal residents, but again it means loading the car and making a trip.
GlassBag offers a simpler alternative. We collect glass bottles and jars directly from your doorstep in Swords on a monthly schedule. You fill your sturdy reusable GlassBag, leave it out on collection day, and we take care of the rest. No driving, no queuing, no sorting by colour — every piece of glass we collect is sent for recycling.
GlassBag covers the whole Fingal area and beyond. As well as Swords, we collect in:
We also collect across all Dublin postcodes, North Wicklow (Bray, Greystones, Delgany), North Kildare (Maynooth, Celbridge, Leixlip) and South Meath (Ashbourne, Ratoath, Dunshaughlin, Dunboyne).
Hundreds of households across North Dublin already use GlassBag. Whether you're in Swords town centre, Rathbeale, Brackenstown, River Valley or Holywell, we collect from your door.
Fingal bring banks are useful for drop-offs, but regular household glass is easier when it is collected from your door.
