most glass these days that is sent for recycling is thrown into giant mountains of unwanted glass that is never used by anyone. That isn't generally true, mostly because it is valuable as long as you have glass production nearby. The UK does have a mountain of green glass as it drinks loads of wine but doesn't produce much. But this is apparently quite unusual, at least according to the Economist. - http://www.economist.com/node/9249262 http://www.economist.com/node/9249262
