Our trash/recycling company (the big company that operates all over
the U.S.) does not take glass. However, most Albertsons and some
other places have containers in a corner of their parking lot that are
for glass. I think those are provided by a recycler business -- the
kind where you can take various metals, etc. and they will pay you by
the pound.
