- • What do I do with my glass recycling bin? Now that glass bottles and jars go in your recycling cart along with your paper, plastic, aluminum and tin, many people choose to use their old bins for storage. If customers no longer want their glass bin, they can leave it upside down next to their recycling cart on their regular collection day, and it will be picked up and recycled during April.
Check your mailbox for detailed information on changes to your garbage and recycling services, including your collection day. If you do not receive printed materials by March 23, please contact (206) 684-3000. After March 30, you can check your new collection day online.
