Do Not Mix With Glass Recycling

Mirrors cannot be recycled with glass bottles. The melting temperature for mirrors is higher than other glass recyclables.

Ways to Reduce

Donate to a Thrift Store

Consider donating usable mirrors to a thrift shop instead of throwing them away. Glass will not break down in a landfill.

Paint or Reframe Your Mirror
