I dump all of mine at the beach when I take my old car batteries to feed the eels
Oh you’re where we get all the sea glass from
the beach is HUNGRY
That dude searching for his bitcoin hard drive will appreciate your consideration
You should look up the disposal guidelines for sharp objects for your area
No need to slice up a sanitation worker’s hands for no reason
Broken glass
What it’s something really good but with a disguised label
I do now
… are we not supposed to put it in the recycling for some reason
my local recycling place doesn’t take glass
Whaaa that’s insane. Glass is a classico style recyclable
never thought of doing this but its pretty based actually
Death to America
I do this for the sanitation workers. Dumpster divers are just a bonus I suppose.
yeah this is pretty real, especially with recycling where there’s more likely to be human intervention in processing that stream. I knew someone who worked in one of those places. It was a “here’s some inadequate PPE but the job is unachievable if you actually wear it all, you’ll get used to all the broken glass and needles” situation

Yeah I picked it up from my grandmother. Broken glass goes into a marked container so the trash bros don’t get hurt. I don’t know if the trash bros actually see it though since it’s in a bag.
Please consider helping out two comrades in Palestine! 🇵🇸
Please help Aya in Gaza ❤️ 🇵🇸https://gofund.me/1222af19Please help Mahmoud from Gaza ❤️ 🇵🇸https://gofund.me/5156f6e9if I see a box like this I’m assuming it has treasure and immediately shoveling it’s contents into my mouth without checking it first
Yes, chemistry class taught me to
Yeah I do, in a bag or sth but not loose. Never thought about it for the dumpster divers but for the guys who have to throw those bags around. But here it’s recyclable
I also wrap razor blades in cardboard
It’s good practice.
while we’re on this topic what the fuck do you do with the tops of cans? that shits sharp af, i try to leave them attached/bent in so theyre not just like loose ninja stars but surely they break off… sorry to anyone who has to deal with garbage i genuinely dunno wtf to do
Put em back into the can when I’ve emptied it. If I’m at a place that gets emptied rarely then I also stomp the cans flat
oh, (carefully) stomping them is a good idea, i try not to deform them because i have no idea how they get the labels off but idk if it matters
Usually I put them back in the can and then bend the lid so they can’t fall out.
You put them in the metal recycling with the rest of the can.
Get a different can opener. They make them now that don’t leave sharp edges at all.
I was thinking about ring-pulls though. As my fingers can attest, those are plenty sharp and I often think they must present a hazard to disposal workers but idk what to do about it
I just use my safe can opener on those as well, works fine. It uses pressure to split the rolled over seam around the edge, so it doesn’t matter too much what kinda can it is.
Ah yeah, I see. I just cram them back into the can, fwiw.
I think glass goes in the recycling and the recycling centres don’t like it when you put stuff in other containers
I googled.
The bottom line is that recycling companies do not accept broken container glass.

Ninja edit. I just realized it’s surely US only info. Other places? I have no idea
Hmm, maybe they do want box glass. I’ll check, its something that rarely comes up (I usually have cans)
If I can’t take it to the recycling center, for whatever reason, yeah. Sometimes I’ve taken two strips of duct tape and sandwiched the shards between them when I didn’t have a box or small plastic bottle/tub to use.
