    Yeah I picked it up from my grandmother. Broken glass goes into a marked container so the trash bros don’t get hurt. I don’t know if the trash bros actually see it though since it’s in a bag.

    I do this for the sanitation workers. Dumpster divers are just a bonus I suppose.

    Yeah I do, in a bag or sth but not loose. Never thought about it for the dumpster divers but for the guys who have to throw those bags around. But here it’s recyclable

    I also wrap razor blades in cardboard

    If I can’t take it to the recycling center, for whatever reason, yeah. Sometimes I’ve taken two strips of duct tape and sandwiched the shards between them when I didn’t have a box or small plastic bottle/tub to use.

    I think glass goes in the recycling and the recycling centres don’t like it when you put stuff in other containers

      I googled.

      Recycle Coach

      The bottom line is that recycling companies do not accept broken container glass.

        Hmm, maybe they do want box glass. I’ll check, its something that rarely comes up (I usually have cans)

    I do but I don’t label it. I guess anybody going thru my trash should mind any taped up boxes that sounds like there’s a bunch of broken glass inside

    Usually, but sometimes a random mess has me forgetting in the moment.
