How GlassBag's Doorstep Glass Recycling Works

Getting your glass bottles and jars recycled from your doorstep is simple. Here's how our collection service works across all Dublin postcodes, North Wicklow, North Kildare and South Meath.

How does the first GlassBag collection work?

You choose a plan, place your order, and leave your glass out on your scheduled collection day. We deliver your reusable GlassBag on that first collection.

When do I get my collection date?

Your collection day is based on your Eircode. You will see it in your confirmation email and you will get a text reminder the night before collection.

What glass can I put out?

We collect glass bottles, jars, candle jars and broken bottle or jar glass. Pyrex, window glass, mirrors and ceramics are not accepted.

Where do I check plans or routes?

Use the pricing page for plan options and the collection calendar for route timing and upcoming collection dates.

How It Works

Step 1 — Choose your GlassBag recycling plan

Step 1 — Choose Your Plan

Check out our Pricing Page to view the options available. We offer Annual, Monthly and Once-Off collection plans depending on your needs.

Once you've decided, place your order and fill in your address details. Please include your Eircode and mobile number — we need these for scheduling your collection.

Step 2 — Your GlassBag collection bag

Step 2 — Fill Your Bag

Use any container or bag you already have to store your glass until your first collection.

To keep waste to a minimum and reduce time on the road, we'll deliver your sturdy reusable GlassBag on the day of your first collection.

Step 3 — Check your collection day on the GlassBag calendar

Step 3 — Check Your Collection Day

Each area we service is assigned a collection day based on your Eircode. You'll find your collection day in your confirmation email, and you'll get a text reminder the night before each collection.

You can also check the collection calendar to find your area's day. If you can't find your Eircode, reach out at info@glassbag.ie.

Step 4 — Leave your bag out for doorstep glass collection

Step 4 — We Collect

The night before your collection, you'll receive a text reminder to the number on file.

Leave your bag out the night before in a visible spot so our team doesn't miss it. We'll leave the bag back with you once we've collected the glass.

How to Maintain Your Bag

After each collection, we leave the same bag back with you so you can start filling it again straight away.

We recommend giving it a quick rinse with soapy water after each collection, wiping it down and hanging it up to dry. Simple as that.
