Safety-First Process
- Site review and staging – A quick walk-through to confirm access, item list, and any fragile zones. Upfront pricing is finalized before work starts.
- Containment and removal – Broken glass is taped and bagged; large sheets are wrapped and edge-guarded. Suction cup carriers improve gripping power for stable handling. Paths are cleared for manual operation through tight turns and stairs.
- Sorting for eco-friendly disposal – Glass that qualifies is routed to local recycling facilities when available. When glass types are not accepted for curbside pickup, alternative eco-friendly disposal methods are used to minimize landfill waste and align with local guidelines.
- Final sweep and check – Floors and routes are swept to capture stray shards. Complete your final walk-through to verify the space is clear and safe.
Recycling and Eco-Friendly Disposal
- Recycling services: Many local recycling facilities accept specific glass types. Window glass, tempered glass, and automotive glass may have different acceptance rules than typical curbside pickup for glass bottles and jars.
- Eco-friendly disposal: When glass cannot be recycled due to coatings, lamination, or contamination, responsible alternatives are used to reduce environmental impact.
- Reuse options: Intact glass items like mirrors, shelves, or glass furniture tops in good condition may qualify for donation depending on safety and acceptance.
Ask about current acceptance criteria for window and tempered glass, as rules vary by facility.
