Actually it won't do anything. Perhaps discarded broken bottles may be a physical hazard, but recycling glass as feed to glass manufacturing processes is no more environmentally sound than throwing it away and making new glass. Glass is after all inert and does not decompose to cause problems.

What cannot be recycled?

Any Batteries, things like Air Conditions, Refridgerators, needles, unused medication, poison, and other things that would harm-humans, the enviroment, or animals. Your local government can help you with this. And the waste sanitation company for your neighborhood will have a listing of specific things. We actually have three different trucks come by, garbage, recycle and compost. If the community recycles, the listing will include thigs like recycleable plastics, glass, metal and paper. They may also forbid compostable yard waste.
