Glass bottles and jars are infinitely recyclable, but many curbside programs have dropped glass because it breaks and contaminates other materials. Dedicated glass drop-off bins are now the most reliable option in many cities.

In Indiana we list 19 glass drop-off locations across 18 cities, with the most in Indianapolis, Broad St New Castle, Cartwright Dr Kokomo, Charlestown and Chesterton. Each links to its full page with address, phone and hours.
