Quick question - recycling glass from cooker hood
 

I am assuming that the glass part of the cooker hood is tempered and melts
at a higher temperature than normal soda glass and so is not suitable for
recycling.

As usual an Internet search seems inconclusive.

Just in the process of throwing out all the bits of the old cooker hood
before fitting the new one.

Cheers

Not sure that it is chemically different. There is an alternative
hardening process which diffuses potassium into the surface (roughly
analogous to carburising or nitriding)

But IIRC you are not encouraged to recycle any sheet glass into bottle
banks.

yup, iirc they don't take it. Freegle/freecycle it.

Would your average waste collector guy even bother to look?

I did that with some large bits of countertop glass from a shop for a
mate and they were requested within seconds of posting and collected
the same afternoon!

They wanted them to make cloches for the garden. ;-)

When I had to dispose of a windscreen (MOT failure) I just smashed it
into tiny little pieces and put it in a box in the landfill rubbish.
It wasn't that easy to break - I had to score it with a cutting disc
because just hitting it with a claw hammer wasn't working. Note that
toughened glass goes everywhere when it breaks - if possible wrap it in
a tarp or similar.
