Here's a page I found with some recycled glass prices on it. http://www.recycle.net/Glass/glass/xv090100.html
The two main sources of cullet, which is recycled glass used in glass production, are post-consumer recycled glass and pre-consumer recycled glass. Post-consumer cullet comes from glass containers recycled by consumers, while pre-consumer cullet comes from manufacturing scraps and rejects.

Glass bottles can be recycled by melting them down and forming them into new bottles or other glass products. If not recycled, they can take thousands of years to decompose in a landfill, contributing to environmental problems. Glass bottles that are not recycled can be repurposed for various DIY projects or used for decoration.
Are you sure that is true? In the UK we are more and more encouraged to recycle, glass being a primary target.
