Commercial glass removal & recycling, managed across every location
From bar and restaurant bottle waste to food and beverage containers and manufacturing glass, Waste Harmonics Keter handles glass removal and recycling as a single managed partner. One point of contact, one invoice, documentation you can defend.
Glass is heavy, low-value, and only recyclable where local markets exist
Glass recovery varies significantly by region and what's available locally. We assess what's possible in your area, handle removal as part of your managed program, and give you honest reporting on where your glass ends up.
What matters is that glass doesn't become an unmanaged cost or a compliance gap. As part of your program, we make sure it's handled correctly, documented, and accounted for, wherever you operate.
The glass we remove and recycle
We manage commercial container and bottle glass generated by hospitality, food service, and food & beverage operations, across every location under one consistent program.

How WHK manages your glass program
We start by mapping what you generate across every location, then standardize your program with one cadence and vetted recyclers everywhere. Scheduled pickups come with chain-of-custody records, and your materials are processed responsibly with diversion and activity rolled into one report.
Assess
We map your glass volume by site, current haulers and costs, and which sites have viable local recycling markets.
Standardize
One program: right-sized service, source separation where it enables recovery, vetted recyclers across every market that has them.
Collect & document
Scheduled pickups with weight and chain-of-custody records.
Recycle & report
Glass routed to cullet markets where available; diversion and activity rolled into one report, honest about site-by-site reality.
Simplify, save, and optimize
Simplify
One managed partner across every location; we wrangle the haulers, recyclers, and paperwork.
Save
Right-sized, properly scheduled service cuts the haul cost that drives glass economics; consolidated billing replaces untracked spend.
Optimize
Weight tracking, diversion data where recovery exists, and reporting that stands up to audit and feeds ESG goals.
A broker hands your assets to whoever's cheapest and disappears. We own
the outcome. Vetted recyclers, real people, full accountability
Where your glass actually goes
Where a regional cullet market exists, collected glass is routed to processors for recovery into new bottles, fiberglass, or aggregate. Where it doesn't, we manage it responsibly and tell you so. Your diversion data reflects what actually happened, not what sounds good.
Responsible routing
Glass routed to cullet processors where regional markets exist. New bottles, fiberglass, or aggregate.

local presence
Across a 5,000-hauler network and 70,000+ locations, WHK delivers consistent glass service wherever your sites are. National footprint, local execution. For glass especially, that local reach is what determines whether recovery is even possible site to site.

Restaurants & bars, hotels & hospitality, breweries, wineries & distilleries, food & beverage manufacturing, grocery, and venues & events, anywhere container glass accumulates fast across many locations and needs one consistent program.
Why multi-site operators trust WHK
We don't broker your program. We own the relationship at every location you operate, which means we're answerable for what happens from pickup to final processing.
Materials are routed to the right recovery or reuse facilities within our network, with diversion and activity documented and rolled into your program report.
Consolidated data across all locations rolls into one report. No piecing together invoices from five different vendors or explaining gaps in your diversion numbers to auditors.
We own your program end to end, not as a broker passing you between vendors.

Glass is heavy and breaks easily, contaminating other recyclables, so many MRFs won't take it. A program built around glass handles it properly.
Often yes, source-separated or color-sorted glass is far more recoverable than commingled. We set up separation where it enables recycling.
