DGR is a Smash Hit

A SOLICITOR who started a glass recycling business during lockdown is set to expand after its amazing success so far in Dundee.

Ryan Russell, from Broughty Ferry, launched the Doorstep Glass Recycling service after waiting in queues at recycling points.

The company charges £6 a month to collect unwanted glass and take it for recycling, with a percentage of profits going to Dundee Foodbank.

Recycling to feed the community has captured the imagination of residents – and now Ryan, and business partner Alisdair Smith, are expanding into St Andrews and Perth.

Kind words from our customers

I am not afraid to say I hate standing the process of taking all the bottles to the recycling point, for a few pounds a month it saves me the hassle and the embarrassment!

John, 55, Dundee

We have a young family and busy jobs and simply do not have the time so for us it is all about convenience.

Rebecca, 36, Broughty Ferry

Both my parents are elderly and the service is perfect for them as they do not get out and about easily.

Grace, 46, Perth

I love the fact the company donate proceeds to charity and encourage recycling at the same time.

Martha, 27, Aberfeldy

We signed up because we live in a flat and have to carry our empties some distance, this saves us a lot of hassle
