Question 1

1. How does the 2 free months discount work?

Accepted Answer

Simple - purchase an annual plan and receive 2 months at no cost. In other words, you're paying for 10 months, but still getting all 12 months of service!

Question 2

2. Where does my glass actually go?

Accepted Answer

Unlike single-stream curbside recycling, your glass is collected separately and processed locally.

We transport it to a dedicated recycling facility where it’s cleaned, sorted, and turned into new glass products and construction materials.

That means your bottles and jars don’t end up contaminating landfill waste - they get a real second life.

We’re proud that 100% of collected glass is recycled locally.

Question 3

3. What kinds of glass does Guiltless Glass accept?

Accepted Answer

The short answer we can accept any glass bottles and jars you buy at a grocery store. The longer answer is we can collect any beer bottles, wine bottles, liquor bottles, jars that contained jelly, jam, mayo, ketchup, salad dressing, etc., candles in glass jars, and anything you would buy that contains food or drink.

We can NOT accept crt glass (computer monitors, televisions), light bulbs, mirrors, or ceramics. If you have any questions, ask us at  info@guiltlessglass.com!

Spoiler alert: we are looking at ways we can help you recycle hard to recycle materials, so this list is subject to change!

Question 4

4. How big is the bin? How much can it hold?

Accepted Answer

The bin measures 27" long x 17" wide x 12" tall - compact enough to fit neatly in a garage or beside your recycling.

It holds about 18 gallons of glass, which is more than enough for the average household between monthly pickups.

For reference, that's up to 40 bottles (most homes fill it with a mix of wine bottles, beer bottles and food jars)

Question 5

5. What parts of Atlanta do you service?

Accepted Answer

We are currently servicing Brookhaven, north Buckhead, Chamblee, Doraville, Dunwoody, Embry Hills, East Cobb, Oak Grove, Sandy Springs and  the surrounding neighborhoods. If you are outside of this area and can get 10 neighbors to join, then we will add you to our service area. And we will cheer for your incredible recycling efforts!

Question 6

6. Do I need to clean or prepare the glass at all?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need to wash the glass or remove any labels or lids. You do not need to sort the glass by color.

Question 7

7. Where do I put the bin on collection day?

Accepted Answer

When you signup you will tell us if you will leave your recycling bin on your front porch or on the side of your house.

Your bin needs to be accessible from the street and should not be stored behind any gates or fences on collection day.

That's all!

Question 8

8. How often do you come to collect my glass?
