Most household glass can be recycled over and over again; just rinse or wash out the container and recycle. Glass is one of the easiest materials to recycle, so buy products packaged in glass if you can.
Some glass items, such as car windshields, cooking dishes, and light bulbs, aren’t usually accepted by local recycling systems, so check with your local government’s waste office to find out how to recycle these items.
Glass is very easy to recycle; waste bottles and jars can be melted down and used again and again. You simply toss old glass into the furnace with the ingredients you're using to make brand-new glass. Bottle banks (large containers where waste glass is collected) were the original examples of community recycling in many countries.
