Do you know what they do with the cans and bottles? I had a long email exchange with someone in charge at Covanta last year and specifically asked about glass, which doesn't burn. He said there was no market for recycling glass, which seems crazy to me since it's SO recyclable. I always feel especially bad about putting bottles into the trash. I assume glass just goes into landfill somewhere.
