This is 'cos the driver doesn't actually care, he only takes the stuff to
the recycling plant.
It does matter if the glass is mixed up; You shouldn't put coloured glass
into clear glass, isn't so critical if you get clear glass into the
coloured glass.
Blue glass should go into the green glass bit.

Here's a wild idea. What if some recyclers actually turn the glass into
new bottles and DO care but some know their truckload is to be used as
grippy surfaces, so therefore DONT care?...

What if some of the latter DON'T care, but want things in the right bins
anyway coz they have OCD?

What about that, then? Eh? EH?!

I must admit, it's pretty wild to think there would be separate glass
recycling plants specifically for the two purposes...

I'm still not sure about this "grippy road surface" thing.
