Every thing used to be glass. Glass recycle was a thing. Now none of the recycle centers take glass.

@Confined I talked to the guys at our county landfill exchange years ago about that. 1st off FYI the landfill is full and everything is shipped out now.
The problem with recycling glass is there are no buyers. There's to much separating involved by type and color and the remelting and blending process is more expensive than metals. No profits no actions. Cardboard and metals are the only true useable and processed recyclables.
