I believe the cost of recycling glass is getting really expensive... A lot of the so called glass for recycling here in Australia is sitting piled up in huge warehouses, we have too much of it, there's not enough of a need for it and the cost to do it is now not economical so it is now sitting in buildings collecting dust! : (

One of the local councils in Queensland last week just announced that they are getting rid of their recycling wheelie bins!!!! :O That all collected rubbish will end up in land fill now. People need to get a lot smarter... but first they need to care! A lot of people really don't care... it's a sad shame... it's not affecting them right now so they're not bothered. It's a big problem!
