glass

not all glass is created equal.  below is a list of what types of glass are redeemable, recyclable, et which types should be placed in the trash.
redeemble glass (CA/c=california)
 when you buy certain beverages, you pay a redemption value (rv) deposit.  look for "(CA) crv" or "ca cash refund" on the containers at a local redemption centre et you'll get your money back.  they can also be recycled in your regular recycling cart for free.
recyclable glass
non-(c)rv glass containers, such as food jars, sauce bottles, baby food containers, wine bottles, and other glass containers can be recycled in your recycling cart.  these are not redeemable for cash because a (c)rv deposit was not charged when the items were purchased.
non-recyclable glass
drinking glasses, glass dishes, glass baking pans, windows, picture frame glass et other forms of glass are not recyclable et must be placed in the trash.
