Glass is even a borderline scam. Metal is by far the best to recycle though. Corrugated cardboard is also really good for recycling, though most other paper products end up being down cycled.
Glass is, however, very well suited to reuse. My favorite cider brewery will take back used bottles to wash and reuse. It's better than recycling, and as a reminder, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is intended to be prioritized in that order.
The important thing about glass for me is that it's probably the best material to send to landfill. I mean, ideally it's reused or recycled, but glass is extremely inert. Once the sharp corners are ground down it's basically a rock.
Landfills are also ideal for plastic for basically the same reason.
But I need the cardboard for my garden! 😆
