Would you be interrested in a device that grinds glass bottles (and jars and whever else) into a substance fine as or finer than sand? The glass in your trash would weigh as much as it had in its original form(s), but it would take up less space in a trash bag.

Would you be any more convinced as to the benefit of the invention I propose were the device capable of being placed directed above the top of a garbage can in order for the glass it would grind form a layer between other garbage, preventing (or so I'd hope) the ground glass from settling at the bottom of a trash bag?
