A talk with my wife about glass recycling changed my mind

She works at our town's recycling plant and told me, "We crush about 60% of the donated window glass because it's contaminated with sealant." I always told customers we couldn't recycle their old units, assuming the plant handled it. Now I see we need to strip the glass clean before it even leaves the job site. How do you all handle disposal for big commercial tear-outs?

Our landfill takes it all, no prep needed.

Consider the extra methane and toxins that creates though.
