Ask HN: Can one create a robot that can sort through glass bottles?

I ask this as our local landfill facility will reach capacity by 2039. We used to ship our recyclables to China but they do not accept it anymore. Below is a link to our landfill facility website. https://www.crd.bc.ca/service/waste-recycling/hartland-landfill-facility Thanks for your help! - Mark
