Is there anywhere in the Dallas area where they will buy glass to recycle?

Question

I've only been able to find cash for cans and I have a lot of bottles that I just throw away at work. Is there any place in Dallas that will give cash for bottles or any other goods besides cans? Thanks.

Answer 1

You're supposed to just give it to recycle because its the right thing to do. They need the money to stay in business.

Answer 2

Probably.  Some scrap yards will deal in glass, and any glass foundry might be interested.  But, scrap glass is a VERY cheap commodity.  I think clear bottles are the best, and they're about $12 a ton.

Now, there may be some small foundries willing to pay a bit of a premium for scrap glass.  Particularly the artsy type places like:

Dallas Fine Arts Foundry

Craft Guild of Dallas

But I can't see them giving you much more than a couple dollars for 100 pounds of bottles... and they probably already have a source.

Best thing to do is put your glass in your normal recycling.  If Texas has a bottle deposit, take it back to the store and get your money.
