Used glass coffee jars

Frustrated_WW · 20-04-2023 8:18am #1

Apologies if this has been asked previously (can't find the thread) I am looking to source used glass coffee jars (example Douwe Egberts) plenty of information where to recycle but not to source. Many thanks

I didn't mean on the web, I meant walk into one and ask could they let the word out among their customers that you're collecting them and agree on how they can contact you when they have a few.

Aside from letting your local charity shop know (they may put up a sign for you) or putting up an ad in your local supermarket noticeboard, I doubt you'll find them that easily - people usually recycle them.

are there any community groups who meet in your area? ICA meetings, men's sheds, that sort of thing? they probably go through jars of coffee much faster than most other places, but would not have a need for catering tubs.

I've trawled the web looking for them, but apart from ideas on how to re-use them, just locations on where to recycle. Thanks

You could ask the coffee manufacturer.

Do they all have to be the same? Do you need a particular size or brand?

Tried the manufacturer without any success. Looking for a particular type i.e. Douge Egberts or L'Or (glass top) Thanks

This kind of thing?

They're basically preserving jars. Lidl used to sell them filled with boiled sweets around Christmas, but Yankee candles (et al) also use them.

These are not identical, but would any if these do?

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I had tried jars.ie but they would work out a bit pricey when rubber ring and clamp are included. The Ikea ones are unfortunately not really what I had in mind. Thanks so much again
