The answer depends on the material

These materials are not curbside recyclables. Secure small broken items for trash; treat window glass as construction debris.

What to do

  1. Wrap small broken drinking glasses, dishes, or ceramics so they cannot cut anyone, then use the green cart.
  2. Bring window glass and larger remodeling debris to a city drop-off center.

Keep in mind

Do not put these items in the blue cart, even when they look like bottle glass.
