@goatsarah @MikeDunnAuthor our council has basically made it impossible for us to recycle glass. live inner city, and don't own a car as the council wanted when this place was built, and no glass collection bins either. so, communal glass bins. was one 10 minutes walk away.
bin was removed because of some "anti social behaviour" (no idea what) and so the closest one is now 30 minutes away on foot. as a result all glass simply goes into the bin.
unintended consequences, etc.
