Paper, glass,and metal recycling to me makes sense since they are basic raw materials that can be reused.
Paper though can only be reused a certain number of times before the fibers become too small to be repurposed.
glass and metals can be melted down and reformed into something else.
“glass”
Glass is never a viable recycled material. It is far cheaper to make new glass than to melt, cleanse, and reformulate old glass.
It costs far (meaning it also takes more) more in diesel fuel to haul that stuff to a glass recycler than it ever saves in energy otherwise.
