A) Whatever the property owner wants...
B) If no property owner is involved there are a few options: When there is probable human or other animal contact after the dig bury the broken glass in one or more pits.
C) Remove it from the property and properly re-cycle it.
D) Gather time specific colored glass and offer it to glass blowers
E) Save bases. Smooth them out and sell as challenge coins, good luck collectibles, etc.
F) Let your imagination loose ...
I love these suggestions. I had no idea that glassblowers might want it. This site is absolutely riddled with bottle remnants from the 1880s. I find every piece fascinating and I've had so much fun tracking down the origins of shards. Been lucky enough to pull out a few unbroken keepers too.A) Whatever the property owner wants...

Great question It's all old, like late 1800s old, so I feel bad about chucking it. It could have some historical value? Maybe?What do you do with all that busted glass??
I think we've all had that dilemma. I've definitely wondered how old fragments could be recycled or repurposed. I think there are some good ideas here. I'm sure there are craftspeople who may be interested in this stuff. You might try giving it away on Craigslist or something like that.Great question It's all old, like late 1800s old, so I feel bad about chucking it. It could have some historical value? Maybe?
I'm putting a lot of it in storage bins until I can decide what to do with it.
This guy gets it.Tumble it to make into beach glass, real period beach glass sells like hotcakes on eBay and Etsy. If you could figure out the grit to make it matte just like bleach glass you’d have a constant source of income.
