an easy way to get glass
« on: February 28, 2015, 11:39:16 pm »
I was cashing in my aluminum cans last month and asked the guy that if he got any blue, red or different colored glass to save me some well I went back last week and he pulls these out, he wants to know why I want them and I tell him, asked how much and he said make me an arrowhead, got a cobalt blue one all finished up for him

Nice!  Are they vodka bottles?

Good way to get the blue glass! I  go to the recycle center and get the sky bottles and platinum beer bottles. Also check with resteraunts serving sky or bud platinum to recycle the glasss

We have 3 glass bins in the city. Most are almost filled up. I can reach in and take what I want.

     Check with your local window repair, shop, and see if they will let you dumpster dive for some thick, and colored glass.
