Glass bottles and jars are infinitely recyclable, but many curbside programs have dropped glass because it breaks and contaminates other materials. Dedicated glass drop-off bins are now the most reliable option in many cities.

In Georgia we list 27 glass drop-off locations across 27 cities, with the most in Byron, Calhoun, Canton, Centerville and Cornelia. Each links to its full page with address, phone and hours.
