Do they have a maximum limit, or just any amount you put out there?

I will contact my trash company. If they will take just the glass, then it will be a lot more cost effective to let them do that, but as newattitude mentioned, I will ensure that no one can be hurt from it.

On a youtube video they talked about a guy who tripped with one in his hands and it killed him.
