Can I recycle Window glass and mirrors?

Window glass has a very different chemical composition and melting temperature than glass bottles and containers, meaning they can't be recycled together. Even though this item doesn't belong at the curb, you can still keep it out of the landfill by finding a used buildings material drop-off, or taking on a new upcycling project.
