We ask that you have your glass in a sturdy plastic bin/container/bucket at your driveway or front curb separate from any trash or blue recycling carts by 7am that morning. Driver pickup times can vary due to traffic, weather, scheduling, and collection routes and your collection may be anywhere within an 8am to 6pm window depending on those variables. Please no plastic/paper bags or cardboard boxes.

Glass is collected per area assigned pickup days with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of the month. Assigned pickups days are no longer zip code accordant.

You may purchase a Phoenix Recycling Bin from us via your Customer Account as detailed in our Instructions for how to order a bin section. Otherwise you may put your glass out in an sturdy plastic container/bin/bucket that can be lifted from the ground, please no plastic bags, paper bags or cardboard boxes.

We expect individual residential pickups to have 1-2 bins per household per pickup to complete area-wide house-by-house collection routes with our truck. If you have more than 2 bins of glass (about 60 containers), please send us a message through the website to let us know so we can plan accordingly. We generally leave it to residential customers in good faith and ask that On-Demand subscribers with consistently large volumes of glass convert to a monthly subscription to account for the collection and processing of those volumes.

Please remove lids and closures from containers, you do not need to remove labels or do anything more than give the container a quick rinse as water is also a precious resource!

We accept the following types of containers:

Wine, liquor, juice, and beer bottles of any size, shape or color

(Painted bottles are also acceptable)

Jars of any kind (jelly, pickles, sauces, olives, etc.)

Essential oil or perfume and similar bottles

Candle jars (clean unused wax out using a warmer/overnight stay in the freezer)

Broken or chipped containers (any listed above)

We cannot accept the following items:

Pyrex (or similar) bakeware

Dishware

Windows

Mirrors

Light bulbs

Plate glass or any other type of construction/auto glass

On-Demand collections should be scheduled when one bin is full, with the understanding that a second may be full by the time your area’s collection day arrives. Our policy for larger collections of glass from a single residence requires disclosure of the amount of glass being put out in an email to support@phoenixglassrecycling.com, along with a potential extra charge appropriate to the amount being collected. This is to account for an extra truck route, driver scheduling, and gas used for that pickup.

We do a few different things with the glass we collect, including:

-Selling whole containers to people or businesses that can use them as-is

-Creating various materials that can be used in crafts or other projects

-Crushing the glass to create cullet to send to manufacturers for aggregates in construction and manufacturing
