Can I recycle glass beer bottles with the lime inside?

Question

Will it mess up the recycled glass or does a person have to take it out at the plant or is it just fine to leave?

Answer 1

Leave it in,

They can eat the sour lime if they please...

Kidding, it will get melted with the glass

Answer 2

im sure its fine

but just to be safe take out the lime

Answer 3

Well, since it's already in the glass bottle.. chances are its going to be a ***** trying to get it back out.  I leave em in for that reason alone.  I assume at the recycling plant, all the glass gets broken down and melted into whatever form to create more glass bottles.  Either someone breaks the glass by hand and removes the lime, or it gets melted with all the other glass and lables.  Technically, you could be recyling the lime as well.
