Can you put glass in a dumpster?

Covers: Glass (windows, mirrors, glass tabletops)

Usually yes

Short answer: Yes for construction glass and mirrors. Wrap sharp pieces.

Why

Bagster accepts windows. Dumpsters.com accepts construction and renovation debris. Massachusetts bans glass containers (bottles and jars) from disposal, but that ban doesn't cover window glass.

What to do with it instead

Recycle bottles and jars curbside.
