Answer 2

Glass is not so much recycled as used in lieu of sand in the formation of new glass. The purpose of recycling is to keep it out of landfill as much as to recover the sand. One has to have a manufacturer of glass close enough to make it practical to transport the glass to the plant. It could be a manufacturer of fibreglass , since this product also uses sand or glass as its raw material.

Most glass manufacturers of glass products have good reliable supplies of sand or rock that they are using, and accept glass for recycling more as a courtesy than for need.
