How many times can glass be recycled a year?

Glass can be recycled almost indefinitely, so long as the glass is not contaminated in some way. If you're specifically asking if you turn one glass item in and how many times will it be recycled and reused in that year, the answer will probably depend on where you live, but I'd say 4 to 6 times. This is based on the statistics that show it takes about 8-12 weeks to recycle glass and put it back on the shelves, and 52 weeks in a year.
