We are supposed to recycle but they don't want it! That puzzles me.

I donated almost all of my glass vases...the cheap ones that flowers come in...and am now using big Mason jars instead. I cut down the flowers to fit and put some jute or cotton ribbon around the top....very pretty...I still have a nice crystal vase I use for roses..which isn’t often!

The place we take our garbage also recycles, glass, plastic, paper, cardboard, metal cans, dried up paint in cans,etc. The glass will get broken, don't worry about it.

Does your city have businesses to take them or ones near you and you get money for them. I take a walk at an outside mall and pick them up. My son has a big trailer and he takes me once a month. The place near me closed. That extra money helps.

I can't help you. We can't put glass in our city recylcing bin. We have to take glass items to a municipal recycling center that accepts glass.

I never thought or worried about that🤔🤔🤔. Maybe you are over thinking that!

i just put mine into our mixed recycling bins that get picked up once a week.
they usually dont break, but i have had a few instances where they have broken.
no issues as far as i know with the men who work those trucks and handle the containers.
