Sandi -- Here you are. Hard to keep up with you lately... you're a busy woman!

Question: Do you think this glass could be used for a driveway? Like a gravel driveway only glass?

Hi there!
The first time I bought some, the man who loaded it told me he would have glass stuck in his tire treads when he got home. The roads at the dump had glass mulch as their "gravel." He didn't seem to have a problem with it. There were cars and trucks going all day out there over the glass. It's about the same size as gravel if that helps...and the first time I used it, I put it on top of the gravel on the pathway.

Excellent. We have an old asphalt driveway and I want to start replacing part of it. This might be just the thing if I can find it around here.

You'll be the coolest neighbors!!!

You know I like my yard art and so forth. This goes right along with it. Now wouldn't a glass driveway be just the thing?

How cool is that going to be???

All the glass I've seen like Bubbles, you could even walk on it barefoot. Well, I guess I should say if you can walk on gravel barefoot and many people can and I think the glass is even smoother.

Thanks for another great idea, Sandi. I hope I can pull it off.

That's good to know, Vicki. I've seen the tumbled glass but never examined it too closely.

Anyone know how well it packs down?

Depends on how many times you drive you car over it!

OK, miz acerbic wit, I get that.

We're just getting ready to go the dump....why...to get glass. DH is "thrilled" to have another opportunity to shovel glass in the heat. He really is a trooper. I'll get some pics for Becky of where we get the glass, and what it looks like before the sand is washed out of it. Too bad I can't let her smell it!

Smells like the dump, does it? Your hubby IS such a trooper to shovel glass in this heat. It is soooo hot and humid here right now. :thumbsdown:

Oh, I hope I can find that glass around here.

We're already back...I'm getting ready to download photos...

Here's some photos of the Recycling Center where we get the glass. It is waaaay out of town, but a nice drive if you like really beeg trucks.






Hmmm, I believe someone's been digging in my glass! This bin was full in May.

For Tee to see how sparkly the ground is with the glass mulch

And this is the free mulch that's also available



Close up before it gets "washed"

I am excited over Austin's wonderful recycling program....going to share this with Phoenix City Officials!

How fun for you...I like seeing the process.

Fun???? I was at the dump!
