Hello my friend, I wonder; Don't you have recycle place for all your glass? Then you can drive this into this place, instead of the Dumbster lot. Other wise it will take one million year before the glass is breaken down, to dirt-level. I just love your videos, where you are cleaning your work-shop. Love it.

It's probably a marginal profit but it'd be a way to deal with it. There are companies that recycle glass that's clear which is what you're getting out of those lights if you'll bust it up into small pieces usually they'll bring you like one of those heavy lift bags that will pick up about two or three tons at one time.
