Don't worry about the fact that your area doesn't recycle glass. I have never been to a municipality that actually makes use of it in any way that makes sense. It's solid waste disposal in a manner meant to fool the public. Avoid buying glass. Reuse it yourself when you have it.
Here in Canada, we gather vast quantities of glass bottles which have a negative value. They are crushed up and mixed with gravel. The gravel sells for less than pit run. It destroys work
boots and coveralls. Several unions won't send their members to work with this polluted gravel. It's really just a means of disposal for a relatively benign product. The production of a glass bottle requires about 30 times more
energy than is used in making paper
milk carton type containers. People feel good about buying the glass product because they believe that it is "recycled". I recycle for a living and have been bitching about these issues for 30 years. I'm 49.
