How Do You Dispose Of Glass?

[OneEyedDiva]

Preparing glass to be recycled actually wastes resources. Folks use more water to clean glass, the equipment used to process recycled glass uses electricity and the trucks that haul the recycled glass adds to CO2 emissions and uses gas.
I know, I know, everyone 'feels good' in recycling. But, its not what most people think. I've been on government committees looking at the affects of recycling vs. the return and it doesn't save anything, but create a whole new industry that ends up costing more. Plus, cities and towns that try to sell the recycled products sometimes have to pay (tax payer money) to get rid of the recycled products because the value isn't there to turn it into a usable product.

Recycling of certain items is the law where I live. But our recycling center does not accept broken glass or drinking glasses, tableware, plastic containers with other than the numbers 1 or 2 on the bottom, empty paper towel and TP rolls or wax coated boxes, just to name a few. My son managed to get all the pieces out of the frame and into a bubble wrap envelope, which I think is enough protection @Chet and @debodun. Plus I taped the envelope shut and put a note on the envelope that it contains broken glass, not that it will matter much because it will go in with garbage that gets put into the dumpster or on the street a couple of hours before the garbage truck comes.

@BC Flash that's more color coding than I've seen in N.J.

Thank you all for your answers.
