It's down to a new processing system introduced by Derry City Council which can separate glass material from the plastics and paper and other recyclable material.

"The remainder goes into products such as concrete blocks or processed sand which is finely ground glass used in golf course bunkers or glassphalt for road surfacing."
Michael Deeney, general manager of Glassdon Recycling which will manage the council's glass collection, said he was delighted to introduce the service to Derry.
"Glass has the unique quality of being able to be recycled over and over again without any loss in quality," he said.
