You choose a plan, place your order, and use a sturdy bag (Dunnes, Tesco, etc.) for your first collection. We collect the glass from your doorstep and deliver your reusable GlassBag on that same collection day.
Your collection day is based on your Eircode. You will see the date in your confirmation email, and we send text reminders before collection.
We collect glass bottles, glass jars, candle jars and carefully placed broken bottle or jar glass. Pyrex, window glass, mirrors, drinking glasses, light bulbs and ceramics are not accepted.
Use the pricing page for plan options and the collection calendar for route timing and upcoming collection dates.
Choose the annual, monthly or once-off plan that suits your home. Annual is the best value, monthly is flexible, and once-off is useful after a party, move or busy period.
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.
Use any container or bag you already have to store your glass until your first collection. Rinse bottles and jars where possible; labels and lids can stay on.
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.

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.

It’s so nice to not have to go to the bottle bank. Great service and reliable.
So delighted to have found this service! It has taken an enormous weight off my shoulders living in a small space, no car and long walk to the bottle bank. It is so clear that they consider all of the small details - text and email reminders, driver tracking and alerts when they are nearby and confirmation that your collection was a success. They even made sure to empty my bag of bottles and give me the bag back (and they provide special bags for this after your first collection). It was very considerate, it was quite a sturdy bag so I was glad to keep it 😂
Excellent service. Extremely reliable, leaves no mess, economical, responsive and well worth every cent ! Will continue to use this service - we are customers for a few years now and never had any issue; even when I forgot to leave out my bag ! Saves bringing (or forgetting to bring) glass to the bottle banks.... they even remind you when they are coming and then send another reminder that they are near; so convenient and you never forget to recycle ! You should really give it a try.
A brilliant service and very efficient. A great alternative to going to the glass bottle banks (which half of the time are full anyway). 10/10 and also very helpful customer service. Thank you :)
Brilliant service, kind and caring. 10 out of 10. Would highly recommend.
I just LOVE Glassbag! It was such a pain having to haul bottles and jars to the recycling centre. But now I just fill a bag and it's collected once a month. Easy peasy! And they're so efficient with texting reminders etc. It's honestly something I could not do without now!
Using that service for years now, always very good. Very handy, you don't have to go to the bottle bank and sort it out, specially if you are color blind😅
