Yes it can be and should be recycled. Most recycling centers will take bottles, jars, etc.. However tempered or window glass is sometimes not taken at recyling centers.

Glass can be recycled indefinitely as part of a simple but hugely beneficial process, as its structure does not deteriorate when reprocessed. In the case of bottles and jars, up to 80% of the total mixture can be made from reclaimed scrap glass, called "cullet". Cullet from a factory has a known composition and is recognised as domestic cullet. From bottle banks it is known as foreign and its actual properties will not be known.

Absolutely! Not only CAN it be recycled, it SHOULD be - recycling is so much better than burying it in a landfill!

Yes, glass can be recycled professionally. Or I guess you could re-melt it and make stuff out of it if you were feeling artistic.

Yes - and I have some really cool sun catchers by Aura glass (check them out on the web - the proceeds go to Good Will)....

Your local recycling plant takes all sorts of glass, aluminum, paper, plastic, metals, etc. and you get money!

Sure can. You would need several degrees of heat to reliquify glass but it can certainly be done. Infact most things are liquid form before its form.

All clear, green and brown glass can be and should be recycled.

Glass can always be reheated to melt it.
Once it is melted you can reshape it.
There are companies that recycle glass bottles.
