You can’t put it in the garbage. That would be crazy dangerous. I fact you can no longer put unbroken glass in the garbage because it could break in route to its final resting place.
There is the recycling place where you can line your car up with unbroken glass sorted by color and have people cut ahead of you and not let you back in line after you leave your glass carefully. The bins are deep and if you drop a jar. Well then that’s non recyclable glass.
The settlers used to drop it in the outhouse hole which made outhouses a real gold mine decades later for bottles of all shapes and sizes, most of them unbroken. I suppose they tossed broken glass in as well.
Or if you live on a farm, there’s always subsidence shafts or ditches that need fill. My mother-in-law tossed lots of jars and old crocks and pots in a ditch, then went back decades later to mine the ditch for antiques.
I finally realized since the ultimate resting place for broken glass is the ground I needed to super wrap it, label it broken glass and bury it in a place where no one is ever likely to dig. I’ve got the glass prepped. But I’m still deciding on a place no one will dig. Perhaps a fake cross will warn future gardeners away. Here lies the heavy punch bowl my cats managed to break when drinking water from it on the floor.
And I vow never to buy any product in a glass jar again. We do not even use glasses to drink water for fear of breaking them and having to set up another broken glass funeral.



Love "broken glass funeral".
