Should broken glass be recycled or thrown away?

It is a jam jar, the type of glass that can normally be recycled; however, it is broken into several pieces.

Recycle. Even if recyclables are not sorted mechanically, the sorters are used to handling sharp things. Garbage-men are too, but are not expecting it.

You should throw it away so whoever has to handle the glass at a recycling center won't be cut.

Thrown away, it could injure a worker sorting the recyclables.

Check your local recycling center. Some areas accept glass others don't. If they do, you may need to put it in a metal pail so nobody gets hurt.

Throw it away because some one could get cut
