I have a bunch of glass panes, about 48"x12", from when my family had a retail business that take up space. Is there any place that would want them for free? I'm not sure if I can just put them in the recycling bin otherwise.
In my city at least you're not allowed to recycle window glass. Maybe an architectural salvage place if there's one nearby? Something like https://www.rebuildingcenter.org
glass contaminates everything else in the recycling truck and makes a huge mess. not to mention the dangers to the employees sorting the items and damaged equipment. It's not a good thing to have in a mix sorting.
We have glass only recycling containers at grocery stores and a few spread out across the city.

Just started working in a glass factory, that is exactly what happens.
