How do I reuse or recycle my candle jar?Updated 3 hours ago

Once your candle has burnt down to about 10mm of wax, it's time to give the jar a second life.

  • Remove the wax: pop the jar in the freezer for a few hours, then ease the wax out with a butter knife
  • Remove the wick tab: it usually lifts out with the wax
  • Wash: warm soapy water clears any residue
  • Reuse or recycle: use it for brushes, cotton buds or a small plant, or recycle the glass through your local council
