How to handle glass at MUNI
In order not to waste your time, we have summarized everything about the university waste sorting.
Prevention is the key
- Get inspired and give glass containers a chance for another use (food storage, watering plants, decorations, vases...).
Into containers marked with green stickers:
Yes
- Glass beverage bottles and food jars (without beverage and food residues)
- Broken glass, shards, other glass objects without material impurities
- Just pour or scrape out the contents of the glass containers (they do not need to be washed)
- Do not mind labels and vignettes
- Return returnable bottles to shops
No
- Ceramics, porcelain, cooking and laboratory glass, earthenware, light bulbs, screens, mirrors
- Glass containers with liquid and food residuesPlugs, caps or closures (you can store them directly in the metals)
- Broken glass baking dish made of cooking glass - this is special glass, which unfortunately is not suitable for material recycling, so take it to a waste collection centre
