Tucson no longer allows glass in the recycle bin. You have to drive it to one of 5 locations in the city. Once there, you have to put each piece into a machine similar to the bottle/can returns machines.
They have even hired "recycle police" to go through residents' bins to make sure there is none. Residents get 3 chances before their bin is confiscated and a fine is paid.
